How Life Works Here
Pack Horse Lane is located in Charnwood, near Loughborough, Leicestershire. Crime is a significant concern, with 481 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 194 violent offences were recorded (40% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Most everyday needs — supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés — are within a reasonable walk. The closest is Salim's (restaurant, 48m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus and tram links nearby. The nearest stop (Aumberry Gap) is 114m away. Properties here change hands infrequently. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 6 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit young professionals. Overall, this street scores 55 out of 100 for liveability, placing it in the top 13% within its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
