Shoplifting dominates reports. 114 violent offences were recorded (38% of total). Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping.

Based on 14 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 8 schools within 2 km, 8 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 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. This street falls within Flood Zone 3 — a high-risk area for flooding from sea sources. Specialist flood insurance and any necessary mitigation should be factored into a purchase decision.

The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
