How Life Works Here

Cooks Lane is located in Dorset, near Sherborne. The associated LSOA area has 174 recorded incidents from 2025-08 to 2026-07. Incident rows were observed in 12 of the 12 selected months. These are area counts, not street-level incidents or population-adjusted rates; they do not establish a comparison with local or national averages. The dataset records 5 nearby amenities. The closest is Digby Tap (pub, 10m). Distances do not establish a walkable route or current opening hours. Recorded nearby transport modes: rail and bus. The nearest mapped stop (Digby Road) is 65m away. Check current routes and service frequency with the operator. The price sample is too small to publish a median; at least eight recorded transactions are required. LSOA source indicators: recorded population 1,477; owner-occupied homes 18.9%; social housing 10.3%; retired population 26%; average household size 2.8. There are 4 schools within 2 km, 4 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. Proximity does not establish admissions eligibility, catchment or personal suitability. The area sits within Flood Zone 2, indicating medium flood risk. It is worth checking the Environment Agency flood map for current details. The highest available weighted profile is young professionals at 81/100.
