Originally posted by malvolio View PostDunno who wrote that but there's a lot missing. West Harptree, for instance, is about 500 yards from East Harptree...
The commute from anywhere outside the city is going to be difficult, since that's what the council wants. It won't be much better inside the City, either, unless you fancy your chances on two wheels. Probably best to ignore that aspect and focus on somewhere that's good to live and has some kind of public transport.
BTM also has much better and cheaper parking than Bath Spa (which is actually closer).Comment

yes, we're going there for a few days next month to see what's it like, but let's face it - a few days are not gonna really tell us much
regarding the areas you've mentioned - are they really WORSE than Stockwell, Barking or Leyton?
and as for the last point - i hate summer! the weather is one of the big factors contributing to our decision. we both like rain, snow and wind - my father in law is a fisherman, so she's pretty toughComment
