We live in one of Britain’s safest neighbourhoods – we don’t bother locking our doors & we’d never move anywhere else

NEIGHBOURS claiming to live in one of Britain's safest areas say it doesn't matter if they forget to lock their front doors.

Families living in Wollaton, Nottingham, say they would "never move anywhere else" as the neighbourhood is "peaceful and quiet".

Residents say crime is unheard of in the area and neighbours "look after one another".

Mum Tina Stanley insists she and her husband would never look to live elsewhere.

The 52-year-old said: "My husband and I always wanted for my child to be at a good school so Wollaton is a good location.

";It is a very peaceful and quiet area. Nothing ever happens here.

"Sometimes we do not even lock the door. Not on purpose, but I just forget to do it.

"But nothing ever happened because it is such a safe area.

"We love it here and I would not move somewhere else."

Christopher May, who has lived in Wollaton all his life, says major crime is not an issue in the area.

The 67-year-old said: "It is a quiet area. We have no killings here.

"People do not die of murders or stabbings. We once had a car crash and someone died, but it was a long time ago.

"You do not get the type of crimes here that you will get somewhere else in the city.

"You could say that it is a posh area, or a neighbourhood where families live so they are more wary."

Neighbour Mohinda Audjla, 69, added: "I feel very safe here. I think it is because you feel like people really care about the community.

"You can trust your neighbours, and they will watch out if something happens. People really care and look after one another."
