Good news was delivered to the latest Safer Neighbourhood Panel meeting, with all types of crime falling in this quarter, and burglary down by 6.5%. The highest crime type in the Ward is currently Theft from Motor Vehicles – loose change left in view, sat navs left on show. Our local police advise that these crimes are easily avoidable simply by checking when leaving a vehicle that nothing is left on display to tempt an opportunist. Just take a moment to save yourself a lot of trouble.
