We love living here, and have done so for 34 years. The houses are well built and spacious with good sized gardens. We are very much part of the Leverstock Green Community, and the emphasis is on Comunity. (Once moved to Leverstock Green area, most people tend to stay in the area even if they move house We have excellent primary schools, and Longdean Secondary School is in the area. Although I am not personally into sport, there are thriving football and cricket clubs. The area has a very long and interesting history, going back to the Iron Age and before. Bunkers Park is a short walk, and although much developed since the coming of the New Town, there is still a semi-rural feel to the area. It is a great place to live.

Deciphering Crime Rates - a Deep Dive Into UK Postcode Analysis
Ever wondered about the crime rate in your UK postcode? You're not alone. We've dug deep into the data, uncovering trends and patterns that'll make your head spin.

The BBC reports that despite councils' attempts to kurb them, the UK's high streets have seen a huge growth in fast food outlets. Could this mark the death knell for the Great British high street, and what can we do about it to halt its decline?
Discrimination by Postcode
You really couldn't make it up, could you? Some of the country's most vulnerable people are missing out on their weekly £25 Cold Weather Payment, just because the system that's in operation is discriminating against them because payments are based on postcode, rather than geographic location.
The Redesign is Underway

So I set out to pull it all apart and get it up and running again to become the most comprehensive guide to every postcode in the UK. And it's been a long, tough job from start to finish - and quite possibly the biggest project I've ever undertaken.
