How Life Works Here

Clive Smith Grove is located in Cannock Chase, near Cannock, Staffordshire. Crime is a significant concern, with 459 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 188 violent offences were recorded (41% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is The Valley (dentist, 92m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Co-op Store) is 140m away. Properties here change hands infrequently. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 9 schools within 2 km, 9 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 63m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Overall, this street scores 40 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
