Safer Cornwall Focus on Camborne Safer Cornwall focus on Camborne The Camborne and Redruth Network Area (CNA) is made up of ten parishes; Camborne, Carharrack, Carn Brea, Gwennap, Illogan, Lanner, Portreath, Redruth, St Day and Stithians. The network area has the greatest concentration of population in Cornwall. This profile provides a picture of crime and community safety issues for Camborne, set in the context of the wider network area. It incorporates information from other sources including Cornwall Council’s Residents’ Survey1 and the wider socio-economic, health2 and community safety profiles that are available for this area.

SEASONALITY 0 3 Crime trends Camborne town is a hotspot for crime and anti-social behaviour, along with other large towns in Cornwall. The all crime and anti-social behaviour rates are above average, however, compared with other urban areas in Cornwall; The volume of crime is increasing, but at a slower rate than other large towns. The increase is mainly being driven by rises in offences such as violence without injury and Criminal Damage; The volume of anti-social behaviour has stayed fairly stable (a small reduction of 4%), which is consistent with the trend across other large towns. The rate of reported Street Drinking incidents is reducing which opposes the trend seen across the other towns. Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Year ending Rate per Annual All Towns All Towns Crime / Incident type Trend August 1000 Change Comparison Trend 2017 Domestic Abuse (total incidents) u 27.3 561 4% • u Domestic Abuse Crimes p 11.9 244 14% • p Rape p 1.3 27 80% • p Other Sexual Offences u 1.7 34 13% • p Note that increases in sexual offences and violent crime, including domestic abuse offences, should be seen in the context of the police focus on improving the quality of crime recording, combined with a universal drive to improve victim confidence and improve reporting rates. The area has a significantly higher rate of recorded domestic abuse than the average for other large towns in Cornwall and this is consistent with previous years; Using prevalence estimates from the Crime Survey for England and Wales, we can estimate that 680 people in Camborne were victims of domestic abuse in the last 12 months, of which two thirds were female and a third male; Camborne has seen a rise in the number of rapes reported (12 offences, which equates to 80%), which is a greater rate of increase than that seen in Cornwall and other town areas – increases of 50% (100 offences) and 58% (154 offences) respectively. The rate of these offences in Camborne is also above average when compared with other urban areas. Alcohol-related harm Year ending Rate per Annual All Towns All Towns Crime / Incident type Trend August 1000 Change Comparison Trend 2017 Alcohol related Crime q 9.6 198 -13% • u ASB street drinking q 2.4 50 -44% • p The rate of alcohol related crime is 10% above the urban area average (8.7 crimes per 1000 population). The trend in these crimes is reducing when compared with the previous year; There is a lower rate of Street Drinking incidents reported in the area, and this has also reduced significantly when compared with the previous 4 year. Street Drinking makes up 6% of all reported anti-social behaviour incidents, which is a slightly lower proportion than that seen in other urban towns (8%); Based on national estimates, we would expect there to be 240 dependent drinkers in the Camborne town area, making up 1.5% of the population. There are 55 people in alcohol treatment in the town, which equates to just under 1 in 4 of the dependent drinkers estimate, slightly lower the average for other large towns (27%); The clustering of alcohol-related crime is illustrated in the hotspot map and shows that there are concentrations in the main high street, which is the area most associated with the night time economy; There is a secondary hotspot situated around the police station in the town. This is mainly due to alcohol-related assaults on police officers, most likely linked to the custody suite. 5 Alcohol-related crime hotspot map 6 Crime Table The table below provides a quick glance at all crime and disorder types in the Camborne town area, describing whether the trend is increasing (), decreasing () or stable () and how this area compares with the urban area average for Cornwall (high , above average , average or lower ). There have been increases in most crime types across Devon and Cornwall and other police forces nationally. Although improvements in crime recording are a key factor, largely driven by recommendations from the national 2016 crime data integrity inspection,4 there are indications of adverse trends emerging, particularly in thefts. There have been increases in some crime types in the Camborne area, but the rises in thefts have not been as apparent here.

In this study no less that eighty species of fish have been identified within the confines of the HVMCA. Many of the more common fish were found to be present in large numbers. Several species have been designated as nationally scarce whilst others are nationally rare and receive protection at varying levels. The estuary is obviously an important nursery for several species which are of economic importance. A full list of the fish species present and the protection some of them receive is given in the Appendices Nine species of fish have been recorded as new to the HVMCA.

  • The Micro-Geography of Nineteenth Century Cornish Mining?
    MINING THE DATA: WHAT CAN A QUANTITATIVE APPROACH TELL US ABOUT THE MICRO-GEOGRAPHY OF NINETEENTH CENTURY CORNISH MINING? Bernard Deacon (in Philip Payton (ed.), Cornish Studies Eighteen, University of Exeter Press, 2010, pp.15-32) For many people the relics of Cornwall’s mining heritage – the abandoned engine house, the capped shaft, the re-vegetated burrow – are symbols of Cornwall itself. They remind us of an industry that dominated eighteenth and nineteenth century Cornwall and that still clings on stubbornly to the margins of a modern suburbanised Cornwall. The remains of this once thriving industry became the raw material for the successful World Heritage Site bid of 2006. Although the prime purpose of the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site team is to promote the mining landscapes of Cornwall and west Devon and the Cornish mining ‘brand’, the WHS website also recognises the importance of the industrial and cultural landscapes created by Cornish mining in its modern historical phase from 1700 to 1914.1 Ten discrete areas are inscribed as world heritage sites, stretching from the St Just mining district in the far west and spilling over the border into the Tamar Valley and Tavistock in the far east. However, despite the use of innovative geographic information system mapping techniques, visitors to the WHS website will struggle to gain a sense of the relative importance of these mining districts in the history of the industry. Despite a rich bibliography associated with the history of Cornish mining the historical geography of the industry is outlined only indirectly.2 The favoured historiographical approach has been to adopt a qualitative narrative of the relentless cycle of boom and bust in nineteenth century Cornwall.

  • Wendron Audio Trail Delve Deeper
    Delve Deeper Wendron Wendron: Ghosts of mining amidst Mining peaceful pastures District If you wish to delve deeper into the history of Wendron’s links with Cornish Mining then this short guide will provide you with more information. As you explore Wendron’s quiet farmland or walk along its tinkling streams, it’s easy to feel like you’ve stepped back in time. But if you did step back 150 years or so, you would find yourself in a very different landscape – a noisy, dirty, smoky industrial area. The parish of Wendron is one of the oldest mining districts in Cornwall and the Cober Valley was one of the most important tin streaming areas. Tin streaming has been important in the area since medieval times. Then, from the late 1700s, Wendron became part of the Cornish mining boom – the parish had very rich deposits of tin. For this reason, Wendron is one of the ten areas of the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site. More than 800 people were employed in the parish in 1870. Yet by 1880, Wendron’s mining industry, like that of other Cornish districts, had utterly collapsed due to foreign competition. TIN STREAMING – WENDRON’S EARLIEST INDUSTRY Why was tin in streams? Cornwall’s granite contains near vertical veins (lodes) of minerals such as tin, copper and tungsten. In the Wendron district, the tin lodes were narrow and close to the surface, allowing early miners to dig it out. Erosion of the rocks carried deposits of tin ore downstream to the valley bottoms. There it was buried in sands and gravel.

  • Kerrier District Council Election Results 1973-2007
    Kerrier District Council Election Results 1973-2007 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election.
