Possible move to Northampton - opinions/advice required

[Jag-D]

Good afternoon midlandy, southern types

Long story short:

Since I returned to yorkshire after living in Leicester for 6 months, I've been toying with the idea of moving back to the midlands full time, but I know very little about the area (other than important things such as where my wonderful lady lives and the way to Silverstone/Santa Pod etc ) so I'm seeking opinions and advice with regards to what looks like an inevitable relocation

I would be looking at renting somewhere (when the time is right) and I'm not exactly flush, nor will I be for a good couple of years

What is the area like for work and industry??

(pretty much your average worker bod, warehouse/driving etc, but making my way into photography mainly of a commercial and industrial nature)

Thanks in advance

Google "DIRFT"

[Jag-D]

Ohhhhh could be a well timed move then?

[Podie]

It's warehouse central, and DIRFT II is due to be built (if not started already). Stobart and Sainos have massive places down there, to name just two.

I should just point out that I know nothing of job availability... I just hoof past the place.

I'm sure I'll find soemthing...wont be moving just yet, but hoping for early next year unless I can source funds before xmas

Plenty of Northants people who'll tell you where to avoid. You've got the choice of villages or towns, new or old houses...

I've been living in the county for nearly 5 years, and like it a lot. Then again, I get my city fix by working in London...

More importantly, there is a lovely variety of roads around though.

To be honest, I'm not entirely bothered where it is as long as it's more local to my girlfriends and my car isn't going to be on blocks everynight

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel the need to always DRIFT past DIRFT?? do you think the police would let me off with a warning as i am slightly dyslexic??? ;-)


Sorry, thats absolutely no help to your moving enquiry whatsoever............!

[Podie]

With you on that Max

With the MX5 now sitting on Konis and the P6ks awaiting abuse, I'm sure I could oblige
