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.

Sources and data notes
OpenStreetMap data is supplied via Overpass; coverage and accuracy vary. A missing result does not mean there are no places of that type nearby.
Distances are measured in a straight line to the mapped point or boundary. They do not identify an entrance, confirm access or describe a walking route. Named trails are mapped routes, not reviewed walking recommendations.
Parking charges are shown only where the source explicitly marks a car park as free or paid. Check signs for current restrictions. Prison locations use a locally maintained Place Keys dataset.
Nearby EV charging
Mapped charging locations returned around this place, with indicative power and operator details where available.

We use Ofcom data for CM23 2ET 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: Stansted Airport
Stansted Airport is about 3.3 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.
