Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. 147 violent offences were recorded (38% of total). Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Rail Station Entrance) is 52m away. Properties here change hands infrequently. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 15 schools within 2 km, 14 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 3 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 417m away.
