How to read this

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.

Source: data.police.uk. Street-level locations are approximate and the data is updated monthly.
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.

Nearest major roadM602Nearest suitable mapped road we found to this postcode

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.

Source: National Highways Network Model Public. Distance is measured to the nearest mapped Strategic Road Network motorway or A-road link.

NEARBY ESSENTIALS

Useful places, green space and outdoor access nearby

Prisons, places of worship, public parking and mapped outdoor places around this postcode.

Places of worship nearby

Nearby places of worship will be added when the live local-amenity layer responds.

NATURE & OUTDOORS

Green space and walks

A practical view of nearby parks, nature reserves and named walking routes. These are not curated dog-walk recommendations, but they are useful starting points for getting outside.

Useful to know

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.

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.
EV CHARGING

Where can you charge nearby?

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.
