Climate, daylight and earthquakes
Monthly temperatures and rainfall, sunrise and sunset through the year, and earthquakes recorded nearby since 1970 are much the same across the area, so they are worked out once for King's Lynn and West Norfolk: see them on the King's Lynn and West Norfolk page.

No nursery, pre-school or out-of-school club on Ofsted's register is within 1.5 km (0.9 miles) of the middle of the street.
Ofsted also registers 271 childminders and 51 home childcarers (nannies) in Norfolk. It does not publish their addresses, so they cannot be shown here; the council's family information service lists those taking children.

No crimes recorded at anonymised points within 250 m in this period (Norfolk Constabulary).
Policing
This street is policed by Norfolk Constabulary. Of the 57,814 crimes it recorded in 2025/26 (April to March), 13.3% had led to someone being charged or summonsed to court, against 9.3% across England and Wales.
In the 12 months November 2025 to October 2026 it answered 90.5% of its 138,202 999 calls within 10 seconds, against a national target of 90% and 89.6% across England and Wales.
| Outcome | Norfolk Constabulary | England and Wales |
|---|---|---|
| Charged or summonsed | 13.3% | 9.3% |
| Dealt with out of court (caution, community resolution, penalty notice) | 6.2% | 4.4% |
| Closed with no suspect identified | 21.8% | 37.8% |
| Closed: the victim did not support further action | 35.8% | 25.4% |
| Closed: suspect identified, but not enough evidence | 13.1% | 15.1% |
| Other outcomes (not in the public interest, transferred elsewhere) | 6.7% | 3.9% |
| No outcome yet (still under investigation) | 3.1% | 4.0% |
Each crime is counted under the outcome it had been given when the figures were taken, a few months after the year ended, so some recorded late in the year were still being investigated. Forces differ in the crimes they deal with (a city force has more shoplifting and fewer rural thefts), which changes these shares, so a difference from England and Wales is not by itself a measure of how well a force investigates. Fraud is not included: it is recorded nationally.
Road safety
No collisions in which someone was hurt were reported on and around the street in 2021 to 2025.
Only collisions in which someone was hurt and which the police were told about are here: damage-only collisions and near misses are not, and some injuries are never reported. Positions are recorded by the police, usually to within a few metres. Each year's figures are published the following September.
Traffic on nearby roads
No traffic count point is within 500 m (0.3 miles) of the street's postcodes. The Department for Transport counts every motorway and A road and only a sample of minor roads, so a quiet residential street usually has none.

What this page cannot tell you
- Whether a particular house is at risk of flooding, subsiding or anything else: the flood map is a model of areas and there is no property-level data here.
- What a home is worth now: sales are historic prices for the homes that happened to sell.
- How safe the street is: crime points are moved to anonymised locations and many crimes are never reported; road collisions count only those in which someone was hurt and the police were told.
- Whether you would get a place at a school: distances are straight lines, not catchments.
- Who lives on the street now: census figures describe the small areas around it in March 2021, during a lockdown.
- How long a journey takes or how often anything runs: transport distances are straight lines to the nearest stops.
- Whether a GP practice is taking new patients, or a dentist new NHS patients.
- How loud a home is inside, or noise from industry, neighbours or smaller airfields: noise figures are models of road, rail and air traffic outside.
How each figure on this page is matched to the street and worked out: methodology.
