How to read this
Source: data.police.uk. Street-level locations are approximate and the data is updated monthly.
This is a count of reports, not a crime-rate score. Police.uk deliberately moves incident locations to nearby map points to protect privacy, so it should be used to understand the wider area rather than a particular house or street corner.
ROADS & TRANSPORT
Nearest strategic road connection
How close this area is to National Highways’ mapped motorway and trunk-road network. This does not include every local A-road.

Useful to know

This is a quick location guide rather than a journey-time estimate. Traffic, junction access and the route from a particular home can make the driving distance longer.

Useful to know
Nearby places and outdoor features: © OpenStreetMap contributors via Overpass. Prison points are cached in a local Place Keys dataset so ordinary proximity checks do not repeatedly call an external service.
Distances are straight-line estimates. Parking charges are shown only where the source explicitly marks a car park as free or paid; otherwise Place Keys leaves that detail out.

We use Ofcom data for BB2 5EP to give you a quick idea of the broadband speeds and mobile coverage you may be able to get. It is a postcode-level guide, so an individual home can be better or worse.

AIRCRAFT & AIRPORTS
Nearest major airport: Manchester Airport
Manchester Airport is about 28.0 miles away. Airport distance is a starting point only and does not show whether a home is under a flight path.
What does this mean?
Source: Defra strategic airport-noise mapping (2022) and airport location data. Airport distance is straight-line distance and does not mean a home is directly under a flight path.
This postcode is not in a strategic aircraft-noise band that we can quote from the national map. That does not guarantee you will never hear aircraft.
