The ward has started to experience an increase in residential burglaries and some attempted break ins with the onset of the darker evenings. Though the wardhas seen a 65% reduction in comparison with last year this will be a team priority

Fraud and scams have been highlighted as concern by residents and crime data does reflect the increase in fraud via cold calling, online and bogus builders
