Hrmm - Well i'm assuminmg it would be a council estate as it's a local authority swap. The road name is Frittenden Close if any ones heard of it ??. I live in birmingham now so am used to over population (especially in my flat)

Thanx HARMAN any info much appreciated. We live on housing association estate now which isn't to bad. Really worried about accepting somewhere worse than where i am.

I'm just round the corner from Frittenden Close! It IS on the estate with the dodgy reputation, but the houses are very nice- well planned & roomy. Butter/Sabbath- (whatever she's calling herself now) lives on the estate and is happy there.

They are trying to do up the whole estate & do away with its bad reputation. There is a new family centre locally where they have things like computer classes for adults as well as kids activities. That is walking distance. There is a decent bus service & we have the MacArthur Glenn outlet centre.

If you need to know anything specific please ask!

I used to live in Folkestone which is 20 min drive away from Ashford, its not a bad part of the world (much nicer than the w.midlands where I am now) If I had the choice would move back to the south east. Parts of AShford have had bad reputations but I don't think it could be any worse than B'ham (going by all the shootings etc that have been on the news in recent years) (sorry bit doom and gloom but I would feel safer raising my child in Ashford as opposed to B'ham)

Thanx for all of the replies I think if i consider it any further than i will go and have a good look. It was being advertised on an housing exchange site that i am registered on. The only other one of interest was in Slough, Berkshire ????

Fio2, where ARE you moving to?

Harman, hi, haven't been around much. (Always a child on the computer..)
