At last Thursday’s Sandyford & Goldenhill Resident’s Association (SAGE) Public Meeting, Sergeant Welch reported police statistics in the SAGE area from 01.03.25 to 31.03.25 as follows.
ASB: Goldenhill & Sandyford 5 – This equates to Goldenhill/Sandyford being 2nd lowest ward from 16, for ASB and 91% lower than the top ward area in Hanley.
Burglary: Goldenhill & Sandyford 4 – This equates to Goldenhill/Sandyford having a slight increase in burglaries recently.
Vehicle Crime: Goldenhill/Sandyford – This equates to Goldenhill/Sandyford being 9th lowest ward area from 16, and 73% lower than the top ward area.
Robbery: – Goldenhill/Sandyford 0 – This equates to Goldenhill/Sandyford being the lowest for robbery but robbery levels are very low so no real comparison to make.
Shop Lifting: – Goldenhill/Sandyford 0 – This equates to Goldenhill/Sandyford being the lowest for shop lifting with Hanley (understandably being very high indeed).
This is a huge improvement on recent events with shoplifting at BP Sandyford and the neighbouring Tesco store very high. It’s extremely encouraging to see how much this has reduced.
