How safe do you feel in your neighbourhood?


Since September last year, people have been discussing how safe they feel in their local area on this page.

Crime is a thorny subject, and not something anyone likes to think about. But with ongoing campaigns in the media, and the decisions we need to make when moving, it's not something anyone can escape. Tell us how safe you feel where you live.

Moving to Basildon - the best areas for schools and housing etc. are Kingswood and Lee Chapel South

oh and avoid craylands like the plague if you stick to lee chapel sth and kingswood you cannot go wrong - both are great neighbourhoods

For Kim

I live in Kent and love it, pretty, loads to do and good shopping in Maidstone, Canterbury and Ashford. I don't know Sittingbourne very well but the schools there in the main are very good and I know the police are working really hard at tackling crime.

I live near the Reebok stadium,Bolton. I feel very safe around my local streets, but worry about the kids being grabbed walking along the main road which gives quick access to the motorway.
I walk the dog at night and feel ok, but we have had 2 daytime attempts by scrotes who went into our hall at 4pm with family in the house and a car on the drive!
I keep the doors locked when I am gardening.

Do you know anything about living in Halliwell in Bolton. We're planning to move there (Nebraska Street) and everyone is saying it's not a safe area.
