How Life Works Here
Bushloe End is located in Oadby and Wigston, near Wigston, Leicestershire. Crime is a significant concern, with 465 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 230 violent offences were recorded (49% 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 The Elms Social And Ex Service Club (bar, 20m). The nearest transport stop is 38m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £210,000. Based on 12 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 9 schools within 2 km, 8 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 156m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Overall, this street scores 41 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
