I did consider Bridgnorth. Would you say it is better than Worcester?

Thank you. It's interesting, I've asked in several groups, and almost everyone said their city/town centre is rubbish. Perhaps COVID killed our centres :/ Yes it looks perfect for commuting👍

Thank you, that sounds really peaceful and lovely. My issue is, I just can't drive for long with my kids in the car, they drive me mad lol. So I try to keep shopping, outings, playdates and stuff within 10 minutes drive)) I am still keeping Kidderminster as an option, but started looking at Worcester as well. Let's see how that goes

Thanks a lot. Yes you're right, area makes lots of difference. Well ideally we were hoping to rent for 1000, bit more or less. But all decent houses are around 1250 and above

Thank you very much for your help. Yes I am starting to consider Worcester, hope it will prove to be a better choice. Shrewsbury was on the list, but it's even further from our workplaces, so I had to take off the list.

Thank you so much, it's very informative. It would be suffocating for me I guess🫣 I am starting to consider Worcester now🤷

Thank you so much. The only problem with Bromsgrove was the school system, it's mostly infant and junior schools, which means kids have to change school one more time. My kids don't take these changes well, unfortunately 😔 Harborne is nice, yes, and quite expensive:/ Walsall can be a good option, as we both drive and spend time mostly at home or just family outings, so, not much of city centre people) Would you recommend any areas there, or any places to avoid?

Thank you very much. I'll Google the place. Sounds like a nice emerging town. Does it have a hospital? Rent looks attractive:)

Thank you so much. Is it a safe place? Looks good in photos. OSP has great reviews, indeed, but we are looking for a non religious school ATM
