Safety
Crime rates in St Andrew's & Docklands are higher than the UK and regional averages, but the neighbourhood is moving in the right direction. Crimes per 1,000 residents dropped from 342.6 in 2024 to 335.3 in 2025, and based on annualised figures for 2026, that rate looks set to fall further to around 187.5 per 1,000.
