In September 2011, Other Crime was divided into 6 categories - Drugs, Public Disorder & Weapons (which was later split further and so is not displayed here), Criminal Damage & Arson (CD&A), Theft - Shoplifting, Theft-Other and Other.
From May 2013, the following changes were made to the crime categories:
I) The violent crime category was renamed "violence and sexual offences"
2) A new category for "bicycle theft" was created which previously fell within "other theft"
3) A new category for "theft from the person" was created which previously fell within "other theft"
4) Public disorder and weapons were then split into two new categories; "public order" and "possession of weapons"
5) Both "other firearms offences" and "other knives offences" which were in "other crime" were moved into "possession of weapons".
The Economic Policy Centre www.economicpolicycentre.com has made every effort in order to ensure that the data for UkCrimeStats is accurate and up to date. However, we are aware of certain deficiencies in this data which are beyond our control. That's because as a 3rd party developer, we do not collect the data, the Police do who then hand it over to another data company to release to 3rd party developers such as ourselves. We only download and analyse it so that you can use it. For full detail of these deficiencies, please read here.
The town centre beat comprises of Eastrop, BlackDam and the Town Centre.
Festival Place is one of the largest in-town shopping centres in England. There are over 160 shops including Marks and Spencers, BHS and Debenhams. Festival Square is the restaurant area and it also has a Vue Cinema and is linked to the bus station. There is a large nightclub at the southern end of the bus station.
The Malls dates back to the 1960s and has not changed much. Since Allders closed and Festival Place opened it continued to decline. However, Primark has since opened boosting foot traffic.
The Top of Town is the original town centre, and dates back to the 1830s. It is a lot quieter than the newer shopping centre, consisting mainly of pubs, eateries, banks and estate agents. It still has a weekly farmers market every Wednesday.
There are three residential areas, Church Square, Crown Heights and Victory Hill, two churches, a mainline railway and a few large organisation''s.
