Flood risk✓

Not in a mapped flood area — SEPA’s flood maps show no river or coastal flooding 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.
