We will be moving out of London soon with our 2 year old and one on the way, and we are really torn when it comes to where to move to.
We are considering Chelmsford (lots of friends and family there, schools seem good, some nice green spaces) or Bishops Stortford (again schools seem great, town looks charming). We're used to the bustle of Islington and like some life around us, but we're desperate for a bigger house with a proper garden and somewhere a bit safer. Husband needs to commute into town so proximity to the station will be important.
Does anyone have experiences of either, or ideally both with a young family?
Thanks in advance,
Leanne
