Anyone know anything about Newton-Le-Willows?
Discussion
Hi all,
I am considering buying a property in Newton Le Willows as it seems great value and would still enable me to commute to work by train. It is not an area I know much about however and I am in the process of doing some research. Can anyone local give me a steer on what it is like as an area?
A friend of mine recoiled in horror when I told I was looking at NLW and said it was rough. This confused me as I didn't get that impression when I had a drive around on a bit of recce.
From what I can tell Newton Le Willows village seems really nice. A leafy suburb with a village centre with a few shops and restaurants and a train station nearby, but if you keep going west into Earlestown then that area is pretty rough. From what I can tell crafty estate agents are as a result trying to punt every property in the area as being in NLW, even though many are actually slap bang in the middle of the aforementioned Earlestown!
I also spoke to a police officer who did his early years on the beat in NLW. He said it is an okay area in his experience. Years ago there was a travellers camp nearby which created trouble and depressed prices, but apparently they have long since moved on.
Can anyone with a bit of local knowledge give me any advice please?
