Safety & Environment
Keep an eye on what’s happening locally — crime figures, the River Chelt, air quality, power cuts, wildfire risk and security alerts.
Our crime data page breaks down monthly street-level figures by neighbourhood, sourced from Police UK, with a full yearly archive back to 2023, and our crime map compares crime rates per 1,000 residents across every part of town. How safe are the roads? Our road collisions page counts every police-recorded injury collision since 2021 by severity, road user and road, with a map of the fatal and serious ones. For the River Chelt specifically, we cover three separate angles: flood warnings and live river levels and rainfall from the Environment Agency, with a history of past warnings an account of the summer 2007 floods and a flood zones map, live sewage overflow status from Severn Trent Water’s monitors with a log of past spills, and chemical water quality readings from the Environment Agency’s Water Quality Archive.
Beyond the river, power cuts lists electricity outages affecting Cheltenham postcodes, with a history of past incidents, wildfire risk gives today’s Met Office fire severity level and five-day forecast for the town and the Cotswold edge, with a history of grass and woodland fires around Cheltenham since 2010, air quality tracks local pollution readings, and security alerts shows the current national threat level. To follow every alert in one place, subscribe to the combined alerts feed, which brings together flood warnings, power cuts, bus disruptions, wildfire risk, road closures and threat level changes.
