Plain-English summary

The immediate neighbourhood recorded 5,341 crimes over the past year, down 14% compared to the same period a year ago. Over three years, however, crime is up about 15% from earlier levels. Theft from the person remains the most common category, as it was three years ago. The median sale price in this postcode sector stands at £1.7m, based on only a handful of recent sales, so it may not be typical of the wider area.
