How we score

Safety

Not scored

Crime data is not currently published for Greater Manchester Police: it has supplied no crime, outcome or stop and search data since July 2019, when it changed IT systems, and has no timeline for resuming. Crime figures for this location are unavailable, not zero.

Starts from the Environment Agency flood zone (Zone 1: 95, Zone 2: 60, Zone 3: 25), minus 10 if a flood warning area lies within 1 km (5 if only an alert area), minus 15 per active flood warning and 5 per active alert; a severe warning caps the score at 10.

  • Flood zones show the chance of river or sea flooding ignoring defences; they do not cover surface water or groundwater.
