Police-reported injury collisions within 1km over the last five years, from the national record.
21 reported injury collisions within 1km, 2021 to 2025
Counted per person hurt, so one collision can appear in more than one row. The collisions themselves are drawn on the map in “Your neighbourhood at a glance” — switch on the Collisions layer.
Source: Department for Transport, STATS19. Figures show police-reported personal-injury collisions and do not by themselves indicate the cause of a collision or the relative safety of different forms of transport.

Police publish these snapped to anonymised map points, never real addresses.
40 incidents were recorded near this postcode in July 2026.
About 21% lower
122 recorded across May to July 2026, against 155 in May to July 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.
Source: data.police.uk. Figures are police-reported incidents snapped to anonymised map points; they measure what was reported, not everything that happened.

Population density for this postcode's own census neighbourhood, an area of roughly 1,500 people.
2,396 people per square kilometre.
Denser than 38% of neighbourhoods in England and Wales.
Source: Census 2021. Density says how closely people live, not how it feels to live there — a leafy street of flats can out-score a windswept estate of houses.
