Real Change

A commitment to improving safety for everyone has resulted in a lowering crime rate. Wythenshawe is now one of the safest suburbs to live in Manchester.

Real Change
Summer Garden operation, which takes place during the summer holidays (17th July 30th August 2009) resulted in some impressive reductions:
Robbery – reduced by 12.5 per cent Burglary – reduced by 51.5 per cent Theft from motor vehicle – reduced by 23.5 per cent Criminal damage – reduced by 19.5 per cent Youth related anti-social behaviour – reduced by 42 per cent
Operation Motorcross was launched to tackle the use of off-road bikes across Wythenshawe. The Neighbourhood Policing Team’s worked in conjunction with GMP’s off-road bike unit to crackdown on these vehicles, which are of great concern for residents. The operation led to a 25 per cent reduction in the number of incidents being reported. This is a fantastic result and goes a long way towards improving the quality of life for residents.
A report in 2008 showed crime is at the lowest it has been in Wythenshawe in ten years. All crimes have seen a decrease across the ten-year period including burglary (198 fewer victims), assault (59 fewer victims), criminal damage (253 fewer victims), theft of motor vehicle (138 fewer victims), theft from motor vehicle (85 fewer victims), theft of pedal cycle (4 fewer victims), arson (22 fewer victims), robbery (6 fewer victims) and car jacking (4 fewer victims). There are almost half as many crimes as there were in 1999.
Neighbourhood Policing Teams continue to work towards local priorities and engage with members of the community. Community meetings are also held on a regular basis enabling residents the chance to air any concerns with local officers. Neighbourhood Policing Teams are constantly finding innovative ways to communicate with local people, be it via bluetooth, face-to-face or by delivering crime prevention booklets via meals on wheels companies.
23 Police Community Support Officers provide a more visible policing and community presence for Wythenshawe.
Respect Action Weeks delivered and continuing with Police and other agencies speaking to residents and reducing crime.
Operation Garden City began in 2002 to tackle antisocial behaviour through a combination of high visibility policing and the provision of a range of attractive diversionary arts and sports activity. Each year it has reduced youth nuisance by 30-40%, and featured in the Antisocial Behaviour White Paper as a model of good practice.
