Hello all!
DH and I are moving to the Wakefield area in a few months time. We're trying to get a feel for different areas, but a lot of the information I've found online is at least 2-3 years out of date, so I was looking for more up-to-date, local knowledge.
DH needs to be within a half hour walk of Wakefield Westgate station, which from what I've researched seems to cover the towns of Alverthorpe, Flanshaw, Thornes, Belle Vue, East Moor, Wrenthorpe, Newton Hill, Agbrigg and Lupset (if I've missed any, please do feel free to add!).
If anyone could give me an idea of any of those that stand out as 'would avoid' or anywhere they've heard/know good things about, that would be super helpful. Things that matter to us are the general community feel (I'm used to being in a community where it takes half an hour to grab a pint of milk from the shop because you get stuck nattering!) but also thinking about schools for the future as well. We're lucky that our budget is fairly generous, but obviously not infinite!
Thanks!
