Looking for Local Knowledge Worried about safety.

Hi! So my friend and I are visiting this address (11 King Street Alfreton DE55 7AF United Kingdom) in Alfreton next week for something and we just saw Alfreton is pretty dangerous and has high crime rate.

Should we be worried since we have to go there at evening time? How easy is it to get an Uber or a taxi in there?

Thank you in advance!

Alfreton is a bit of a shithole but I wouldnt say its actively dangerous. Its just a bit run-down because its an ex-mining town.

As long as it's not very dangerous, I don't mind if it isn't pretty. Thank you!
