Just browsing through our latest Dover District Newsletter which only yesterday popped through my letterbox...oooh the excitement as I flick through the pages!
... however have come across one interesting bit about our recent crime figures. We may have had some of this before if I am repeating myself its an age thing!
I hope all you dovorians out there appreciate the following and feel safe in your beds...
2006/7 to 2007/8
Recorded Crime Overall in Dover District has fallen by 13%
Burglaries down 13%
Violence against the person down 14%
Theft of motor vehicles down 11%
Theft from motor vehicles down 35%
Nadeem Aziz Chairman of the Community Safety Unit says...
" These figures are a real credit to the success of the Community Partnership...and brings home the important message that the District is a safe place to live, work and visit."
So statistics show a terrific improvement overall, so as mentioned earlier we can rest a bit easier...and you thought it was a hotbed of crime, not at all!
