Living in Notts city centre is even dodgier than St Ann’s

Over 850 crimes were reported in the city centre during August of this year.

The stats, from Police.uk show central Nottingham is the most dangerous part of the whole city.

The highest amount of crime committed on any street in Nottingham goes to Thurland Street, just off Market Square, with a whopping 54 crimes in the same month.

The types of crime reported here range from violent and sexual offences, drugs, possession of weapons, and in February this year, Thurland Street became the crime scene of a nineteen-year-old locals’ murder.

Being surrounded by plenty of pubs and clubs, the area is popular with students and drunks alike.

Thurland Street is the most risky

If that isn’t scary enough, King Street isn’t much better. A total of 47 crimes took place there and 30 crimes on the Goosegate area were reported near the Market Bar nightclub.

Although the City Centre makes a clear winner for the most dangerous student area of Nottingham, the second most risky is the Arboretum.

Popular as a residential area with Trent students due to being right on the doorstep of uni and, of course, the city, the areas around Ashwell Gardens and Hawksley Road are particularly unsafe with 11 crimes committed. The sorts of crime vary from burglary, robbery, drugs and theft.
