Things You Should Know
Area safety score 15/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.

How Life Works Here
Smithfield Street is located in Shropshire, near Croesoswallt / Oswestry. Crime is a significant concern, with 563 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 255 violent offences were recorded (45% 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 Square View (restaurant, 25m). Public transport options are limited. The median property price is £190,000. Based on 2 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 5 schools within 2 km, 5 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 410m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. Overall, this street scores 43 out of 100 for liveability. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
