Crime points come from CLEMIS and are plotted at block level, the precision the police publish. Events are pinned at the address their organiser published, across Westland and the towns around it. Anything without a published address, including reader picks, is listed below rather than pinned: putting a marker on a guess would be worse than not putting one at all.
