Neighbourhood Ranking History
Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
Neighbourhoods are compared only within the same Police Force.
Different forces have different budgets and priorities and even within the same force area caution should be excercised when comparing different neighbourhoods as again, different priorities and resources are deployed to different types of area such as inner city and rural.
Where neighbourhoods can be compared is against themselves, month by month to determine if crime is increasing or decreasing and if so, which types of crime are being reported.
Similar adjoining neighbourhoods can be compared if they are of a similar make-up.

All the areas of Nettlestone, Seaview, Brading, St Helens, Bembridge, Havenstreet, Haylands and Ashey parishes lie on the North East edge of the Island, which provide enjoyment to visitors throughout Spring, Summer and Autumn. Visitors can also travel on the steam train located at Havenstreet. Visitors can also travel on Island line to Brading.
Brading is a small rural town alongside an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the Isle of Wight. It is proud of its strong community spirit, its hospitality to visitors to its historic sites and buildings, pleasant downland countryside and seaward wildlife sanctuary. Brading Roman Villa is one of the finest Romano-British archaeological sites in the UK.
Bembridge is a village and located on the easternmost point of the Isle of Wight. Bembridge is home to some of the Islands wealthiest residents.
The population of Seaview and Nettlestone Villages are mostly in the ‘retired’ age group and an important feature is that the proportion of second homes is one of the highest on the Island. Many of the second homes belong to the sailing community and are let throughout the summer months. This means that during the winter the streets become deserted but with a great increase during July and August especially during Regatta week
This corner of the island has a microclimate which encourages shrubs to bloom nearly all year round. Wildlife includes red squirrel colonies, badgers, foxes and a wide variety of sea birds and waders, including herons, egrets and grebes to name a few. These birds can be viewed at the Hersey Nature Reserve on the Duver
