How Life Works Here
Ann Street is located in Kirklees, near Dewsbury. Crime is a significant concern, with 355 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 184 violent offences were recorded (52% of total). This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is Royal Spices and Pizza Bar (fast food, 71m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Cranshaw Street) is 136m away. Properties here change hands infrequently. Rented accommodation predominates, with larger households suggesting families. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. 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. The area sits within Flood Zone 2 (river flooding), indicating medium flood risk. It is worth checking the Environment Agency flood map for current details. Overall, this street scores 43 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
