Where records cluster in BT31
Records by part of BT31: the south-east 187, the east 56, the north-east 46, the west 22, the north-west 11, the south 9, the north 9, the centre 4.
North is at the top. Each hexagon is about 1.1 km across, the size the crime map uses zoomed out, and holds at least one of BT31's postcodes; darker ones hold more records. Hexagons at the edge also hold records from neighbouring districts, and BT31's records placed outside these hexagons are not drawn, so the map's counts won't add up to the page's total. Police place each record at an approximate public point, so this shows which parts of BT31 records cluster in, not where incidents happened. Explore BT31 on the crime map.

Is BT31 safe?

About 28 records a month. The busiest month was May 2026, with 38.
Records here changed by +10.5% on the 12 months before, against +7.6% across the Police Service of Northern Ireland area over the same months. With 338 records a year, a change of a few percent can be chance.
Anti-social behaviour is the largest category, at 35.8% of records, against 15.7% across England and Wales over the same months.
The records can't tell you about crime nobody reported, which street in BT31 a record came from, or how a place feels at different times of day. See the limits to keep in mind.
Limits to keep in mind
Published locations are approximate; they are snapped to anonymous map points before release, and each record is assigned to a district by its nearest postcode. Counts near district boundaries are indicative.
These are counts of published police records, not all crime, and not a safety score.
Outcome labels in the source data are not court results or conviction rates.
Figures below come from official open datasets, joined on postcode. Sources are listed on the
