Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 113 violent offences were recorded (32% of total). This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is Tesco Express (convenience, 24m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus and tram links nearby.

There are 15 schools within 2 km, 14 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 4 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally.

The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
