Battisford & Ringshall, Mid Suffolk: Safety
Safety
Battisford & Ringshall is one of the quieter neighbourhoods around, with crime rates well below the UK and East of England averages. The trend is moving in the right direction too.
In 2024, the neighbourhood recorded 23.2 crimes per 1,000 people. That's already well below the UK average of 91.6 and the regional average of 72.2. By 2025, that figure had dropped to 11.5 per 1,000 — a significant drop. The 2026 data so far points to a similar level, sitting at around 11.2 per 1,000.
Anti-social behaviour is low and has fallen sharply since 2024. Neighbouring areas like Needham Market and Blakenham record noticeably higher crime rates, which puts Battisford & Ringshall's figures into even sharper focus.
If you're looking for a settled, low-crime rural neighbourhood, the data here is reassuring.
