We could not show these: crime. They either did not answer or are not published for this area — a gap in our data, not a finding about this place.

| Miles to the nearest acute hospital | 2.7 | — | straight-line distance from the centre NHS England, with NHS ODS site locations Tameside Hospital, run by North Cheshire and Mersey NHS Foundation Trust. Straight-line, not a journey time, and the nearest site is not always the one you would be taken to. |
