Right chaps, firstly mods please move this if Telford doesn't come under the Midlands sub section! ?

Thinking of moving to Telford or nearby, the job would potentially be in South Telford and I like to cycle to work so upto 10 miles from there is fine.

Any advice/ideas on where would be good or what it's like round there?

Nice one chaps.

I rent and am on my jack so no particular needs but a garage is a must for my Capri, a nice quiet safe area is good, out in the country is fine and I wouldn't want to be stuck in massive traffic jams if I were to drive to work.

The workplace if it happens would be on one of the big industrial estates that look in the southern bit of Yelford I think.

Hadn't really looked north of Telford tbh as had presumed having to get past the centre to get to work would be a bind and maybe by bike would be easier coming from the south but I've literally been there once for an hour so have no idea.

I'm renting myself, what sort of areas would West telford include?

On a different note, any cheap under cover car storage places down there as wouldn't need a garage then.

Nice one chaps, Bebee will definitely be down for the first one of those after I move which seems pretty likely now.
Ironbridge looks lovely but not dripping in rental properties at the mo.
Bridgnorth is on the list now too as sounds nice and about 10 miles from the dealership I'm looking at so a pretty decent commute through the country and not so hard to drive if the weather's gash.

RESSE said:
Lawley Village/TF4(where we are) and Horsehay are on the 'edge' of Telford.

Muxton is very nice area as well as Admaston/Bratton/Wrockwardine.

Plenty of houses with garages in these areas.

If any use I would be happy to post you our copy of the Telford Journal Property pages?
Great offer Resse, I'll know later next week if it's happening and might take you up on that ta
Thanks for all the advice chaps, will check out all the other places mentioned too, top info thanks!

Right chaps, job confirmed today so need to take the plunge now.

Will be working for Travel world Motorhomes on Halesfield so I think Shifnal is the place I want to be.

Had a quick look about and a pint there on way back and looks a nice wee town and an easy 4 mile cycle to work.

Have put my name on a house there if the current tenants can get shifted quickly enough,got lucky as its not even on the market yet so if all goes to plan should be a Shropshire resident in 2-3 weeks and will defo pop along to a meet.

Any suggestions forca good gym round there or Telford,bigger the better as I hate busy gyms?
