Flood risk!
Low-likelihood flood area nearby — SEPA’s flood maps show river flooding only in a rare (1 in 1,000 year) flood within a quarter of a mile of the town centre.
How we grade areas
Grades are relative, comparing this area against others of the same type across the UK. Amenity grades are based on OpenStreetMap counts within a fixed radius. The Safety & Peace grade ranks recorded anti-social behaviour and public-disorder incidents (the offences most relevant to a quiet neighbourhood) — per head of population where ONS figures are available, otherwise by count. Figures are estimates to aid research, not a substitute for visiting an area.
