Click the 'find my neighbourhood' link at the top of the page, then enter either the postcode of interest or, for example, 'browning street, stafford' or whatever. It'll then display the top-level local map, which can be zoomed in upon at will.Mmm, if I type in ST16, I don't get the whole of the ST16 postcode area, only around a quarter of it has details in, an area it calls Stafford Town, which doesn't include me.
That Browning Street incident is only shown because it occurred right on the border of Stafford Town with the rest of ST16 to the north - how would one find records for, say, Marsh Street?
I have to say, however, that the results of this are somewhat misleading: my own local corner, comprising six houses occupied by boringly respectable types, is identified by name as the site of several assaults, thefts and instances of anti- social behaviour in December alone, none of which, to my almost certain knowledge, took place in this tiny street. We do have 'neighbours', however, and I suppose plod thinks it's ok to label us altogether. Seems to be an artefact of the specification of data points for the mapping, about which I'm about to complain vigorously to the HO. Not a Daily Mail reader myself, but the effect on house prices can hardly be good.
