Where records cluster in L70
Records by part of L70: the west 14,800, the north 366, the south-west 253, the north-east 91.
North is at the top. Each hexagon is about 1.1 km across, the size the crime map uses zoomed out, and holds at least one of L70's postcodes; darker ones hold more records. Hexagons at the edge also hold records from neighbouring districts, and L70's records placed outside these hexagons are not drawn, so the map's counts won't add up to the page's total. Police place each record at an approximate public point, so this shows which parts of L70 records cluster in, not where incidents happened. Explore L70 on the crime map.

Is L70 safe?
We don't label places safe or unsafe, because published police records can't show that. This is what they show for L70 from September 2025 to August 2026.
About 25 records a month. The busiest month was September 2025, with 46.
Records here changed by +92.8% on the 12 months before, against +3.4% across the Merseyside Police area over the same months. With 295 records a year, a change of a few percent can be chance.
Shoplifting is the largest category, at 52.9% of records, against 8.7% across England and Wales over the same months.
The records can't tell you about crime nobody reported, which street in L70 a record came from, or how a place feels at different times of day. See the limits to keep in mind.
Limits to keep in mind
Published locations are approximate; they are snapped to anonymous map points before release, and each record is assigned to a district by its nearest postcode. Counts near district boundaries are indicative.
These are counts of published police records, not all crime, and not a safety score.
Outcome labels in the source data are not court results or conviction rates.
Figures below come from official open datasets, joined on postcode. Sources are listed on the
methodology page.
Flood risk from rivers and the sea
Postcodes in England with properties in each band (Environment Agency), counted by the highest long-term risk band of any property in the postcode. Postcodes not listed have no property in a rivers-and-sea risk area, and postcodes outside England are not covered. Risk applies to the area around an address, not the address itself. Surface-water risk is not published by postcode. Edition: NaFRA2, revised 18 Jun 2026.
