Good call.

Again it does depend on where the contract is as to what is suitable. Op, you need to be more specific if you want local knowledge.

Aldridge side of sutton is well within reach and not bad at all.

You could keep my missus happy during the week as I am currently working away and live very local. But not walsall.

(can't do smilies ...... argh)

I think OP has a contract in Walsall, in which case I spose if it's going to be a short term let - living in Walsall makes sense if it's just for work purposes. As you say though, OP isn't giving much away.

Lucky lady.

Sounds like conned tractor has given me an opportunity to do just that.....

Not sure you're asking for advice in the right place. See what's available then check to see what the crime stats etc are. Find the postcode of the arboretum and get as close to there as you can, is my advice.

Does it have to be Walsall?

So where in the area would you reccomend then? Will be working near the M6 so commute not too much of a problem, but it's a fixed term perm so costs have to be kept down

The only decent-ish area is around the arboretum, I lived in one of the new build flat's near there for a short time a while ago.

Avoid, erm, anywhere else in Walsall really. It really is a tuliphole.
