Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 137 violent offences were recorded (45% of total). This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is The Coffee Pot (cafe, 72m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby.

There are 8 schools within 2 km, 8 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 178m away.

Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
