How safe is it? from Bolton

Street-level crime isn't published for Medway Drive — Greater Manchester Police stopped supplying it to police.uk. We show the Home Office annual recorded-crime figure where held, and never a fabricated zero.

Street-level crime

The local police force is not currently publishing street-level crime records to police.uk, so a comparable crime rate is not available for this area. Any records shown are British Transport Police (railway) only.
