Public order offences, while less frequent overall, surged to 69% above the UK average, a striking anomaly that may reflect the area's summer dynamics.

These patterns suggest a community where violent and public order issues dominate, yet property crime remains subdued, a trend that may be influenced by local factors such as effective policing or demographic characteristics.

June 2025 marked a sharp rise in public order offences, which increased by 166.7% compared to May, moving from three to eight incidents.

Robbery and 'other crime' categories also saw 100% increases, with one incident each reported for the first time this year. Conversely, criminal damage and arson fell by 40%, from five to three, a decline that could be attributed to targeted community efforts or seasonal shifts in criminal activity.

For residents, the daily crime count of one incident per day offers a tangible measure of local risk, even as the area's overall crime profile remains comparatively benign.
