FG, Stevenage
Wednesday, October 4, 2023
Very practical for train and buses, now sole area of Stevenage with a large Boots and a Post office on the Forum. As a non-driver, the area is perfect for me however it is difficult and expensive to park near the Forum. As a woman, I don’t go out once dark settles in although late returns from work in the recent past have not worried me unduly. Tesco Extra is super efficient and reliably stocked but pricier than other supermarkets, all accessible by car or bus. The recent departure of Iceland, closure of Wilko have left the Forum wanting. BHS that closed years ago is still standing empty, which isn’t a good predictor for Wilko in particular. Lots of well stocked charities both on Forum and in Old Town. SG1 seems to be populated by young (30-40) professionals.

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.
SOCIAL GRADES
According to census records, 22% of people here have a social grade of AB (highest), compared to the national average of 27%.
