Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 262 violent offences were recorded (58% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street.

There are 17 schools within 2 km, 17 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 3 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 176m away.
