Source: data.police.uk, street-level crime inside the ONS built-up area outline; people from Census 2021. A town centre with shops and pubs records more crime per resident than a suburb.
Flood zone 1FloodAt the town centre, the area is in flood zone 1 for rivers and the sea on the Environment Agency's Flood Map for Planning (not in zone 2 or 3, the lowest of the three). Surface-water risk: we don't hold that map, so it is unknown here. One point says little about a whole town, and the zones describe the area, not a building: check the address on the Environment Agency's long-term flood risk service.Source: Environment Agency, Flood Map for Planning (Rivers and Sea), read from its open download. © Environment Agency copyright and/or database right 2025.
