How Life Works Here
Bell Street is located in Telford and Wrekin, near Telford. Crime is a significant concern, with 547 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 187 violent offences were recorded (34% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area 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 Telford & Wrekin Interfaith Council (community centre, 46m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 112m away. Properties here change hands infrequently. 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. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and first-time buyers. Overall, this street scores 48 out of 100 for liveability, above the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
