What residents think is behind tag of living in one of Nottinghamshire's most dangerous towns

Nottinghamshire Mansfield United Kingdom

Residents in Mansfield have said they are "not surprised" after it was named the second most dangerous place in Nottinghamshire. According to recent police data, Mansfield Town Centre & Broomhill is just behind Nottingham City Centre & Trent Bridge for the highest crime rate for its population from February 2021 - January 2022.

The data threw up some worryingly high statistics such as 1039 cases of violence and sexual assault and 805 crimes of anti-social behaviour. The town has a crime rate of 361.2 people per 1,000 and is ranked the 64th most dangerous area in the UK.

Local residents have now shared their thoughts on living in or near one of the most dangerous towns in Nottinghamshire.
