Hi all! I am new here and I have yet another 'Where to move out to from London' post!
We have been seriously considering Hitchin and have visited, and it is a lovely place! We don't have kids yet but hopefully in the future, and it seems like a family friendly place too. Surprisingly, also affordable for our budget.
We currently live in a erm...lively part of North West London. I had a look at the crime numbers on police.uk, and am surprised to see that the numbers between Hitchin and where I live now are roughly the same.
Nothing really fazes me, but I'd like to think that by making the move to leave London we'd have a more peaceful life! A quick scan of The Comet (local paper) showed stabbings, anti-social behaviours and a gunfight (!) in the past couple of months?? This is more than what we normally hear of in my current area.
It would be great if we could get more insight into this, if it's something that should make us reconsider. Thanks
