Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 206 violent offences were recorded (46% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street.

A car is recommended for commuting and longer journeys. The median property price is £332,500. Based on 4 transactions recorded since 2014.

Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 210m away.
