St Mary's, Windsor and Maidenhead: Safety
Safety
Crime in St Mary's is dropping fast. Recorded crimes fell from 237.5 per 1,000 people in 2024 to around 211 in 2025, with the annualised rate for 2026 pointing to roughly 87 per 1,000 — nearly in line with the UK average of around 89.
That's a real turnaround over two years. Anti-social behaviour has more than halved since 2024, and vehicle crime has fallen considerably as well.
St Mary's still sees more crime than the quieter residential neighbourhoods nearby. But the trend is clearly moving in the right direction, and it's closing the gap with national figures significantly.
