Anyone in Newark, Notts? We are moving there soon...

[laa]

I have a 3 y0 DS and 14 mo old DD and we're moving in June from London. What's Newark like to live in with children? Also (having already posted a question about kitchens) wonder if anyone knows of a good builder, plumber and kitchen fitter in that area! Any recommendations gratefully received. Thanks, Laa

Hi Laa, I'm not from Newark or near it myself but I know there is at least one Newark Mumsnetter. Wait a mo whilst I find out her name...

shanequa, I think.

I am moving to Sleaford soon and thats 35 mins from Newark, I will be going there as Newark has a Waitrose!!!!!
I am currently in Hants
I have 10yo ds and 19mth old dd
I do not know much about Newark, think it is like many place, it has the good the bad and the ugly too!
Enjoy the move!!!

Center Parcs head office is based there, sorry useless piece of info I know!

I grew up in a village about 8 miles away. Some lovely countryside, nice enough shops for a small town, great ruined castle for the kids to explore (it's all safe) and you can do boat trips on the canal.
