Questions people ask
Is West Northamptonshire safe?
Police recorded about 71.2 crimes for every 1,000 residents in the 12 months to August 2026, about the same as East Midlands as a whole (77.8). Figures run high in busy centres where few people live, and they can't tell you how one street feels, so visit at different times of day.
