A new website allows you to type in your postcode, and discover how much street crime and anti-social behaviour has taken place in your area in the most recent month for which records are available.
So, your intrepid researcher had a look, entering IP6 8QR, i.e. the heart of Paradise-sur-Gipping, and here are the results;
- burglary - zero
- anti-social behaviour - five
- robbery - zero
- vehicle crime - zero
- violent crime - zero
- other crime - zero
So, where's all of this anti-social behaviour then? Closer examination indicates that the figures are for an area covered by a circle with a radius of one mile. As it turns out, the Parish boundary is less than a mile away in some directions, and every incident took place in Cedars Park, part of Stowmarket.
But I'm not taking any chances, we've got the mobile police station coming to the village next month...
