Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 218 violent offences were recorded (62% of total). Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. The nearest transport stop is 283m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £229,152. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 3 schools within 2 km, 3 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally.
