Grantham St Vincent's, South Kesteven: Safety
Safety
Crime in Grantham St Vincent's has dropped sharply over the past two years. The rate fell from 188.7 crimes per 1,000 people in 2024 to roughly the UK average now.
Back in 2024, crime here was about twice the national average. By 2025 that gap had closed, and 2026 figures show the neighbourhood tracking close to UK and East Midlands levels. That's a real change in just two years.
Anti-social behaviour and violent crime pushed the numbers up before, but both have fallen significantly. The trend is clearly moving in the right direction.
St Wulfram's, the neighbouring area, still has higher crime rates, which shows just how much St Vincent's has improved.
