I was just thinking this morning about how when I lived in Hebburn, and was visiting it during the 1990s, it was a pretty safe little town. I know things can happen anywhere, but I thought nothing of walking the streets at night, going to pubs like the Banks O' The Tyne, the Longship and so on, walking through the Shopping Centre at night, etc. There was never any bother as far as I recall.

What is it like now? Is Hebburn still safe to walk around at night? Last time I was there (2019) it still seemed fine during the day but I never really walked around after dark so didn't get a sense of it.
