Need advice on moving to a new location.

[emmanmiah]

Hi everyone. I am using this forum for the first time and i need advice as hubby, our 2 boys and i are looking to move to luton as he's got a new job offer. We currently live in cardiff. I have never been to luton and i wonder if anyone lives there? I would like advice on which areas would best suit a family that are looking for good schools, parks, sports facilities ( boys are 5 and 9), countryside walks and a community feel. Also lots of activities to keep the boys occupied. Apologies if its a big ask but i couldnt think of a better place to ask. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Welcome to Mumsnet.

I once got a parking ticket in Luton, based entirely on that Luton is rubbish.

Yorkshire is the way!

I can't comment on Luton as I don't know it, but wishing you all the best & bumping for you!

You might be better posting in the Chat forum, just for traffic. I only saw your post because Iwanna bumped it. Sorry I can't be more help than that, I've flown into/out of the airport but know no more.

Can you try the Mumsnet Local section, for Luton?

I've never been there, sorry. But good luck with your exciting new start. :)

I agree-either chat or maybe mumsnet local? I don't know Luton at all but I'm about to move a long way from home to a city we don't know. It's exciting and scary. Good luck to you.

Just as a warning, "hubby" is hated on here-you might be better using "dh" or "husband" instead.

Good point Hirples, I'd get it moved to chat Op, as more traffic there.

Thankyou all..will try the chat forum and will use dh next time lol! What does it stand for?? I best not write what came to mind haha

DH = Dear (or darling) husband.

Just report your thread & ask MN to move it to chat & you should get a lot more traffic there especially during the day.

Thanks for that, I tried chat and getting more responses. I also want to try the MN local.
