Politics
How this postcode’s constituency voted at the general election on 4 July 2024. A constituency is a large area — around 70,000 voters — so this describes a much wider patch than the street. These are simply the votes as counted: nothing here is ranked, scored, or compared with anywhere else.

Before you rely on this
- It describes an area, not a property
- Almost every figure here covers a whole neighbourhood — typically 1,000 to 3,000 people — or the nearest point to a postcode, which itself covers about fifteen addresses. Two houses on the same street can differ in ways no area statistic will ever show. Nothing on this page is a statement about any particular home, its condition, or its value.
- It is published data, not our opinion
- We do not model, estimate, score or predict anything ourselves. Every figure is reproduced from an official government dataset, and each one names that dataset and the period the data describes. Official data is released in arrears, so the most recent figure available may be months or years old, and conditions on the ground may have changed since.
- It is not a survey, a search, or advice
- This is not a property survey or valuation, not a conveyancing or local authority search, not a flood risk assessment, and not financial, insurance, mortgage, legal or investment advice. It does not replace any of them, and it is not regulated as any of them.
- Check the official source before you commit
- Before you exchange contracts, sign a tenancy, or buy or decline insurance, take advice from a qualified professional and check the live official source — every figure links to the one it came from. Where safety is involved, go to the authoritative service directly: flood warnings, for example, are issued live by the Environment Agency and are not reproduced here.
We take reasonable care to reproduce each dataset faithfully and to say plainly where it came from and when it was collected. We are not the publisher of that data, and we do not warrant that it is accurate, complete or current at the moment you read it.
Nothing on this page limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot be limited or excluded under the law of England and Wales. Your statutory rights are not affected.
