About this neighbourhood

Cowick

Cowick has a population of approximately 5,700. It is a mainly urban ward in the residential suburbs of Exeter.

The population is varied across the entire area, more than 80% of the dwellings are owner-occupied and unemployment rates are consistent with the Exeter average. There are a small number of local shops that provide for the area, however, the majority of the public houses and supermarkets are in neighbouring wards and the city centre.

The Cowick neighbourhood team is made up of myself beat manager PC Conway and PCSO Wallis. The neighbourhood team is based in the St Thomas office, which accommodates the teams for the entire west side of the city.

Cowick is a safe place to live with the likelihood of being a victim of crime well below the national average. In addition, incidents of serious crime are very low indeed. Overall crime in the area in 2007 reduced by 64% compared to the previous calendar year.

The neighbourhood team is working hard with the community to identify issues of concern, the outcome of this is that we are targeting pockets of antisocial behaviour and speeding commuters.
