This month's crime stats

As you can see from the green numbers (which indicate crime down or at the same level as a month ago) compared to the red (crime up), we've had another good month in Putney, Wandsworth and London.

There was actually very little change in most of the numbers - either or up or down, though where increases were seen they tended to be more than off-set by larger falls in other areas. That's why, for instance, East Putney saw an overall decline in crime even though more categories of crime saw small increases: the decline in burglary was significant and offset those rises.

Roehampton also, again, saw a marked drop in crime, especially theft and handling.

And West Hill deserves a special mention, because it has a crime rate half that of the London average: West Hill is not only the safest part of Putney but one of the very safest anywhere in the capital.
