How Life Works Here
Looses Yard is located in Norwich, Norfolk. Crime is a significant concern, with 852 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 319 violent offences were recorded (37% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street.

The nearest public transport is 1,097m away. A car is recommended for most journeys. Properties here change hands infrequently.

There are 6 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 295m away.
