Crime in Broomhill In 2000 Sheffield has one of the lowest crime rates for big cities in the UK. In part this reflects the relatively stable local communities and in part the level and quality of policing. the following notes show the changes over recent years in the Broomhill area of the city. June
1999 The 1999 Crime
Report. The total
number of crimes reported was 105, broken down in
the usual way as Burglary Dwellings, Burglary
Sheds/Garages/Offices, Theft from the Person, Theft
from Motor Vehicles, Theft of Motor Vehicles
etc. Also discussed
was the continuing problem of noise and disturbance
caused by those returning from clubs in the early
morning. Birkdale School had lodged an official
complaint with the University for criminal damage
caused to its premises. Dec.
1998 The police
representatives on Broomhill Forum presented crime
figures for the Broomhill area focusing on house
burglaries, purse snatching, aggressive begging
etc. A strong recommendation was made for property
marking. For this and other such matters, advice
can be received from the police, contact number
2964923. June
1998 A brief account
from the police to the BANG AGM held on 1 May 1998,
emphasised that, apart from car crime around the
Hallamshire Hospital area, Broomhill is a
comparatively low crime area. Nov.
1996 Crime and Crime
Prevention A Police
Constable has attended a number of BANG Committee
Meetings and has kept us informed about crime in
the area which, despite the large number of thefts
of and from cars, is not as bad as in some other
areas of Sheffield. There is no apparent pattern in
car crime and no peak times, making it difficult
for the police to target this. There were a large
number of car crimes around the private schools,
particularly around Oakholme Road during sports
sessions at Birkdale School in the evenings and
this was being targeted. Hopefully the situation
has now improved. Advice was
given on steps to take when going away and leaving
the house unoccupied for more than a
day. May
1995 One of the new
Community Police Constables gave a very interesting
description of the re-organisation of the police
service locally. He is responsible for the area
above Fulwood and Whitham Roads, extending to
Crooks and Crosspool, with another Community Police
Constable responsible for the rest of Broomhill.
Telephone calls to the police on 2852211 are now
routed to Eckington. Hammerton Road has been
downgraded. A brief resume of crime figures for the
area was given. Whilst house burglaries and crimes
against the person had decreased significantly,
theft from and of cars had increased by over 40%.
The Community Constable asked people to be vigilant
and to report anything suspicious. May
1993 AGM - 28
April The discussion
centred on the need for improved pedestrian
crossing facilities at Crookes Junction and at the
Newbould Lane - Glossop Road crossroads, and on the
flouting of no entry signs by cars. The points
raised were dealt with by our community constable,
who also dealt with crime in the area and the
inevitable nuisance caused by a small minority of
the large number of students living in Broomhill or
in the immediate neighbourhood. |
