Food and drink on the high street
| Registered premises | Count |
|---|---|
| Pubs, bars and nightclubs (23.3 per 10,000 residents) | 2 |
| Hotels, B&Bs and guest houses (11.6 per 10,000 residents) | 1 |
Counts are registered food premises in the Great Broughton built-up area (860 residents at the 2021 census), from the FSA food hygiene register, extracted 17 August 2026. The boundary is drawn from where the buildings are, so these figures cover the town itself rather than the wider council area, and no total is shown because the register also lists premises nobody would call a venue: school kitchens, care homes, warehouses.

Crime, per 1,000 residents
| Category (police-recorded, 12 months) | Rate |
|---|---|
| Violence and sexual offences | 16.3 |
| Anti-social behaviour | 9.3 |
| Criminal damage and arson | 12.8 |
| Vehicle crime | 1.2 |
| Burglary | 8.1 |
| Other theft | 2.3 |
| All recorded offences | 57.0 |
The all-offences line is a count of records, not a safety score: it weighs every category equally, which is exactly why we publish the categories. We deliberately do not combine them into a single index.
Figures are police-recorded crime (August 2025 to July 2026) located to this built-up area, per 1,000 residents at the 2021 census. Three cautions, each of which changes how a rate should be read: recorded crime is not crime experienced, because reporting rates differ by category and by place; the denominator counts residents, so town centres and visitor towns run high per resident precisely because many people there are not residents; and a high figure can reflect more reporting as easily as more crime. Percentiles compare towns of 10,000+ residents. Greater Manchester and Gloucestershire constabularies do not publish, so their towns show a note instead of a partial figure. Compare towns →
Broadband
| Availability | % of homes |
|---|---|
| Gigabit-capable (1,000 Mbit/s+) | 90.6% |
| Superfast (30 Mbit/s+) | 94.7% |
Share of the 416 residential premises in this built-up area that the fixed network can serve at each speed, from Ofcom's Connected Nations coverage data (network state July 2025). Availability is what the line to a home can deliver if ordered, not what households actually subscribe to, and a full-fibre street where everyone bought the cheapest package shows 100% here. Percentile compares towns of 10,000+ residents. Compare towns →
