Read the detailed evaluation

Crime in context

Recorded crime in this local area is 1,693 incidents over the past year. That is broadly unchanged from the previous year, with a 0.2% fall. Theft from the person remains the most common recorded category, and it was also the top category three years ago. The figures point to a place where theft-related crime is a notable feature, but the main change over the past year has been minimal.

House prices in depth

The median sale price for the wider district is £925,000. Because this is a district-level figure, it gives a broader market view rather than a postcode-specific one. No property-type breakdown is provided, so there is not enough here to compare flats, terraces, or detached homes within the data supplied.

Flood risk

The current flood band is very low. That is the only flood fact provided here, so there is no basis for any change-over-time comment. It describes the area’s current flood classification.
