Development shapes travel; travel shapes the air; the air shapes health; and today’s decisions shape what the next generation inherits. 6 links measured from this postcode’s own figures — each ends in a question, not a forecast.

building applications, of 25 in all
1

11
tree works, counted apart
8 applications within 2km propose building or changing something, 1 of them involving homes. A further 11 concern trees and are counted separately. They change the canopy, not the traffic.
How might that development affect travel demand on the existing network, and is anyone assessing it cumulatively, or one application at a time?

Sterte Green is 140m away, one of 3 named green spaces within 2km. 8 development applications sit inside the same radius.
How are the cumulative effects on that green space and its habitats being considered, and which of these places is actually protected, rather than simply undeveloped for now?

Today's reading is moderate (46), with nitrogen dioxide, the pollutant most tied to traffic, at 29.5 µg/m³. Air quality is a long-run exposure, not a daily event: what matters for health is the average someone breathes over years, not one good or bad day.
Over years rather than days, what would sustained exposure at this level mean for residents with asthma, COPD or heart conditions, and for children whose lungs are still developing?

The most local tier of all, sitting beneath BCP: town councils run things like allotments, halls, events and local green space, and are consulted on planning. Their wards differ from BCP’s, so the whole council is listed here by its own wards.

What is it really like to lead one of the country’s largest unitary councils? Join us for a fascinating evening with Aidan Dunn, Chief Executive of BCP Council, as he takes us behind the scenes and shares an insight into a typical day in his role. From overseeing vital public services and managing major challenges to working with councillors, communities and partner organisations, Aidan will explain what it takes to lead a council serving more than 400,000 residents. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions and learn more about how BCP Council operates and the responsibilities of its most senior officer. Please note that this is not a political meeting.

Broadly unchanged
668 recorded across June to August 2026, against 711 in June to August 2025. The same three months a year earlier, so the comparison isn’t measuring the seasons.
Counts are of records, not convictions, snapped to anonymised map points and published about two months in arrears. A change of a few incidents at this scale is noise. The shape over a year is the part worth reading. The feed keeps about three years, so its earliest year will drop off as new months appear; figures already gathered here are kept.

Permission is not the same as building work. No open dataset records whether a scheme has started or finished, so these are listed as consented and dated, nothing more. In England a permission normally lapses if work has not begun within three years, which is why the window stops at five.

Smaller networks run on one of these four, so check whoever carries yours: giffgaff and Sky Mobile on O2, Tesco Mobile on O2, Lebara and Talkmobile on Vodafone, Smarty and iD on Three, 1pMobile on EE.
On any other provider — Plusnet, TalkTalk, Vodafone, Shell, Zen and the rest — report it to them rather than to Openreach. Openreach maintains most of the cable but only takes faults through whoever you pay.

Fuel: Prices as each forecourt reported them to the government register, not checked at the pump. Loyalty discounts and supermarket vouchers are not included.
Crime: Police data has limits. Each marker is a deliberately anonymised, approximate point that the police move to one of a fixed set of locations on or near a street, so a marker never means a crime happened at a particular house. It covers the 12 months the force has published (September 2025 to August 2026), and only crimes reported to the police. Recorded incidents in this area: → about the same as a year ago (-6%), comparing June to August 2026 with June to August 2025.
Added by residents: Added by people who live here and checked by a moderator before appearing.
Public toilets: Public toilets as mapped in OpenStreetMap. Opening hours are seasonal and often not recorded, so check before relying on one.
Rings mark 500m, 1km and 2km. Pins are what the open registers record, not everything that is there. A hall nobody has added to OpenStreetMap does not appear. 1342 nearby records have no published coordinate and so cannot be drawn; they are still counted in the figures above.
