How Life Works Here
Memorial Square is located in North West Leicestershire, near Coalville, Leicestershire. Crime is a significant concern, with 449 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 232 violent offences were recorded (52% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. The closest is J.C. Fish Bar (fast food, 48m). The nearest public transport is 100m away. The median property price is £425,000. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 5 schools within 2 km, 5 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. Overall, this street scores 40 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
