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.

AIRCRAFT & AIRPORTS
Nearest major airport: Manchester Airport
Manchester Airport is about 13.1 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.
