Macclesfield - areas to avoid

[muhandis]

We (family of 4 including 2 toddlers) are moving from the badlands of east London (I'm joking of course) to Macclesfield for work. We will be renting a 2/3 bed house/flat close to the town centre (essentially within a 1/2 mile radius of the train station. My office is on Shaw street, west of the railway line. The intention is that we live within a 10-15 minute walk from my work.

From what I can see on Rightmove, it looks like a busy rental market with a decent variety of properties available.

Any tips on which areas to avoid in that radius - crime, burglaries, muggings, that kind of stuff?

Hello OP!

We're nipping onto your thread and bumping it in the hope that folk local to your new area will offer their recommendations.

Best of luck with your house move!

I live in Macclesfield and I know Shaw Street, I use the garage there!

Most of Macclesfield is fairly safe and within that radius I don't think you need to worry.
