AGT, Bishops Castle
Wednesday, November 7, 2018
If you like pubs, then Bishops Castle is stuffed with them! Although this can make the town centre a little rowdy late at night, it's a great place to live, and my family feel safe here. All the essentials are on our doorstop, from petrol stations to small supermarkets, restaurants and schools. It's a bit of a trek to get to larger supermarkets, but by no means a major downside. Year-long events attract large crowds to the town, especially for the Michelmas Fair.

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.
Death of the High Street?
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
Well, the current website was absolutely in dire need of a good redesign - from the ground up. 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.
