Official records around this point

Point sources need one coordinate, so these are anchored on M24 5UJ — the live postcode nearest the centre of the area. They describe that point, not every street. Crime is counted across the whole North Middleton policing neighbourhood, which is the Police.uk boundary containing M24 5UJ. Each keeps its source, its geography and its limits. Counts are counts: an incident total is not a safety measure, and an empty planning result is not a completed search.

One month of records for the North Middleton policing neighbourhood — the boundary police.uk itself shows, so this figure should match theirs. Not a year. Locations are anonymised to a nearby street, not an address. Counts are not adjusted for population, visitors or reporting differences and must not be treated as a neighbourhood quality score.

Supermarkets, pharmacies, healthcare, gyms and libraries mapped near M24 5UJ, ordered by straight-line distance. OpenStreetMap is contributed data: a place missing here is not proof it does not exist, and nothing here confirms opening hours or that a business is still trading.

Places mapped in OpenStreetMap within this distance of the postcode point, measured straight-line, and kept only where the map tags them as the kind of place the heading claims. OpenStreetMap is volunteer-maintained and this search returns the closest matches rather than every one: a short list is not proof that nothing else is there. Distances are not walking routes, and nothing here checks opening hours, whether a surgery is accepting patients, or whether a place is still trading.

Parks and green space

Parks, playgrounds, nature and outdoor sport mapped within 1.5 km of M24 5UJ, ordered by straight-line distance. Distance is not a walking route, and OpenStreetMap says nothing about whether a space is open to the public, its hours or its condition.
