Posting here for traffic as i noticed a few Ashby folk on the 'sneering' journo thread. Dh's job is relocating to the East Mids and because of the motorway network Ashby de la Zouch looks like a good option. So, one damp Sunday we went to have a look round. I feel umcertain about it and have a few questions, but would welcome any observations from people in the know.
Are the schools as good as they sound, are there any to be avoided or any parts of town to avoid?
Is the nearest a&e department in Burton?
Is the nearest train station Burton and what is the transport like for getting out of Ashby de la Zouch?
Is there a park with swings etc for children within the town - i cant seem to find one?
Is there much going on for children? Would teenagers be bored?
Are there paths that you can walk on out of town to open countryside?
Would you recommend living there?
TIA
