How Life Works Here

Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 260 violent offences were recorded (61% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street.

The nearest is about 110m away. Properties here change hands infrequently. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 21 schools within 2 km, 20 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 471m away.
