Working at Grangemouth, where would you live??
Discussion
Lived in Bo'ness for 22 years and that's the area you're going to.
You've got quite a few areas within reasonable range including the following :
Grangemouth (well kinda goes without saying
)
Falkirk
Bo'ness
Polmont
Maddiston
Brightons
Linlithgow
but to name a few.
I have a few relatives work at BP and they live in Bo'ness and Grangemouth. I now live in Falkirk and used to be a Police officer in Falkirk to I know the area quite well.
By all means if you need any advice just post up.

Depends on your budget, but IMO most parts of Falkirk are nicer than Grangemouth: purely being outside of the "blast zone" has to be a bonus LOL. Bo'ness is too far out for my liking with no train service.
It'd be nice to be near a train station (near Falkirk High, Polmont or Linlithgow) for trips to Glasgow, Edinburgh and Stirling. Brilliant, if pricy, train service to them all.
Most parts of Falkirk are OK, Bainsford and Langlees probably being the worst, but even they're not as bad as they used to be. I stayed in Rumford for almost 5 years and am now in Reddingmuirhead.
In fact, what's your budget? I know of an excellent house for sale...

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions, certainly got some research to do!! I'll probably rent initially for 6 months and then buy oce i'm settled into the job. I've got no kids so i'm not too fussed about schools! Mainly interested in being in an area with some good local amenities (food and drink!!) and somewhere you can leave the car with minimal risk of it disappearing!!
Rightmove here i come!!
Cheers

Or are you talking by road?

The blast zone is about 20 square miles around grangemouth.
When the carbon cracker blew in the late 1980's windows were blown out in boness and stuff blown over in linlithgow .

If you are single and have no ties, then go for Falkirk mate cheaper that the citys and lots of pubs/places to eat on your door step.
Rightmove FK1 for rentals.
Take it you are coming to BP/Ineos?
