    That's south west England for you. My parents lived in Somerset. I live near Clapham Common.

    I got a 1 too. But then I looked up my walk to work through the City. It’s all 5s and 6s.

    1, but then you’d hope that was the case for zone 5 really!

    I got a 1 and I live just off Plum common Road. So I'm not so sure about this.

    Just the 1 for me - although the stink from muck spreading and cow dung can’t be healthy.

    1. (Must have been measured while I wasn't running the lawn mower.)

    Good point - just checked work and that’s a 1 as well. Stoke-on-Trent a 1? The data has lost all credibility for me.

    A 1 also for me..

    Not really surprising, as the nearest very minor road is 75 yards away.
    We've only got a footpath approach to our cottages.

    But then we've all got woodstoves and smoking chimneys in winter.

    2 - both my road in Eltham (home) and Southampton (uni)

    Do remember the score is its likelihood to exceed its target. My road in Eltham is very quite but I live on one of the busiest roads in Southampton yet score 2 for both.

    2 Higher than average for Horsham, but each postcode I have relatives at around Horsham are all 2's... I think they're including the surrounding country areas

    What a load of bollocks.

    Another government scam to make us all think the government aren't turning all of out lungs into soot cylinders.

    Anyone who lives within motorways in this part of the country would be a 4 at best!!

    1.

    Surprised as we back onto a busy A Road, though it is still quite out of town.
