Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 171 violent offences were recorded (50% of total). This is a quieter, more car-dependent location.

There are 9 schools within 2 km, 9 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 3 are rated Outstanding. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel.
