2) It's far from a tuliphole - The village I live in boasts not to have a single council owned property in it - not many towns can say that.
d) The reason why Orrell went tits up is that everyone plays League in Wigan - myself included.

Easy access to M60 via the A5103 (Princess Parkway).
I'd go for Altrincham or Knutsford. Certainly no nearer Warrington than that.
Who said Runcorn? Priceless!Last edited by Alf W; 24 January 2012, 13:26.Guy Fawkes - "The last man to enter Parliament with honourable intentions."Comment

Appleton n Lymm in Warrington are just fine
Frodsham which is 1 junction down the m56 - nice market town.
Chester is only 25 minutes away - and there are some nice areas there..
Runcorn - the old town is not bad - only go to the new town if you want hookers/drugs/to get mugged
Forget any of the Manchester based ones - nightmare traffic - if you want a night in Manchester the other places are between 40 mins and and hour away by train.Comment

I work away from home a lot.
I dont want to be travelling a long distance every week and have a daily commute on tip of that.
I try and stay a close as i can to clientco.
The m60 and m62 are bloody awful during rush hour, so personally I would avoid.
I'm sure Warrington has nice bits.I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

Just the odd estate to avoid, just like any other big town - north or south.
Like I said, if you've ever been to Reading, it's a bit like that...just one size smaller.Last edited by KimberleyChris; 24 January 2012, 15:14.Comment

It's - well - ok. I was born and bred there, so maybe I'm biased, but I would rather live there than say Reading or Portsmouth.
It's just so handy for everything. Two airports, Pendolino rocket trains to Euston, and three motorways off in all directions. If you're talking about a working base rather than a holiday home, then it has quite a lot going for it. The natives are OK too. Standard bl***y Northerners. Local accent is 'North', but not undecypherable - think Chris Evans on Radio 2, who is a native.Comment
