How Life Works Here
Compasses Passage is located in Shropshire, near Shrewsbury. Crime is a significant concern, with 655 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 258 violent offences were recorded (39% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is YLB Salon (hairdresser, 28m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 493m away. Properties here change hands infrequently. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. There are 1 schools within 2 km. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 347m 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.
