They described it as a good place to live
Surprised residents said they 'have never experienced crime', as Nottinghamshire has been named the 18th most dangerous place to live in the UK, according to official data. New data from the Office for National Statistics has revealed which are the worst places in the UK for crime.
The 35-year-old added: "Someone once bumped into a car and that that is as extreme as it gets. I feel massively safe around here. Georgia Merrin, a gardener who lived in Nottinghamshire all her life, added: "I have never encountered any crime myself - apart from when I was younger, and a friend of mine got stabbed".
"I think that is Nottingham and Nottinghamshire as a whole - a place where there is community spirit. Some parts of the city have a reputation for it [crime] - but I cannot say that it is stopping me from walking up the streets, because I have never encountered crime." Vivian Obi has lived in Nottinghamshire for three years. The 53-year-old, who works as a carer, added: "I am very surprised to hear wbout the crime rates in Nottinghamshire.
