How Life Works Here
Higgins Lane is located in Medway, near Chatham. The associated LSOA area has 1807 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 2 nearby amenities. The closest is Medway Centre (social facility, 25m). Distances do not establish a walkable route or current opening hours. Recorded nearby transport modes: rail and bus. The nearest mapped stop (Waterfront Bus Station) is 129m 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.
