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 ward; Bedworth is about 1.6 miles from its centre, and our data does not include bus frequencies.
- Check home security. Burglary in the ward is above the borough and England rates, so ask about locks, alarms and any previous break-ins.
- Check the flood map for the specific property. Small parts of the ward are in flood zones 2 or 3, and surface-water risk is mapped separately.
- Check school places directly. Two primary schools are inside the ward but no secondary school; read the latest Ofsted reports and Warwickshire County Council's admission rules, because living nearby does not guarantee a place.
