What to check before you move
- Look at the street, not just the ward. police.uk maps recorded crime month by month, so you can see whether incidents cluster in particular places or near the home you are considering.
- Try the journey at the times you would travel. There is no railway station in the area; Brigg is about 2.2 miles from its centre and Scunthorpe about 5.6 miles, but how useful they are depends on the timetable and where you need to get to.
- Check the flood map for the specific property. Small parts of the area are in flood zones 2 or 3, and surface-water risk is mapped separately.
- Check school places directly. One primary school, Scawby Academy, is inside the area but no secondary school; read the latest Ofsted reports and North Lincolnshire Council's admission rules, because living nearby does not guarantee a place.
