Safety and environment

Air: DEFRA, Pollution Climate Mapping (PCM) 1 km background maps.

How it is worked outCrime is street-level crime inside the town's outline over September 2025 to August 2026, per 1,000 people (Census 2021).
Flood: at 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).
Air: an annual mean on DEFRA's 1 km map at the town centre.

Things to know
  • A town centre with shops and pubs records more crime per resident than a suburb.
  • Flood: surface-water risk is unknown here, we don't hold that map. 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.
  • Air: a background figure, not the air beside a busy road.
  • These are for the town centre; an address can differ.

How it is worked outThe day rate range counts only nurseries that publish a day rate; the middle is the median of those.

Things to know
  • A nursery that does not publish its fees has none held here, so its price is unknown.
