The daytime character shifts — ethnically mixed self-employed with no fixed place of work in construction, transport, and storage.

Property: With prices averaging £130k, this is one of the more affordable postcodes in the area. The Index of Multiple Deprivation places this area in the most deprived 20% nationally — this often means more affordable prices and active local authority investment, but also fewer amenities and higher benefit dependency.
