Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 181 violent offences were recorded (41% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street.

There are 11 schools within 2 km, 11 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 4 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 196m away.
