Howard Road follows closely to be the third most dangerous road, with an average of 3.3 crimes a month.

Lytton Road followed very closely to be the safest with only 2 crimes reported, each in May and June 2014.

Ayesha, a resident of Lytton Road said: “I don’t know much about the crime in the area. I moved in just a while ago and it seems pretty safe.”
