PostHeaderIcon What would rush hour traffic be like commuting from Liverpool to just past Preston?

I’m moving up to work in Garstang, which is just past Preston but I would rather live in Liverpool than Preston. How long would is take to commute from say south Liverpool (Sefton Park, Wavertree areas) to Garstang during rush hours? I can either leave at 7am or 8am.

A nightmare in the making.In other words rather you than me.

PostHeaderIcon What Mobile Networks Work Best In Liverpool?

Hi there,

I’m moving over to Liverpool next month, and am a little concerned that my Orange phone won’t have any reception in that area, what are the best networks to use there? (I will be in an area called Hope Park, which I believe is in Merseyside…)

This is also in regards to PAYG internet dongles, so any information on either of these would be really helpful.

Thanks!

Check on the orange website signal checker, and then just enter the postcode, that is the most accurate way.

PostHeaderIcon Why do you think about living nearby Newsham Park in Liverpool?

We´re moving to Liverpool and we don´t know the city at all. So is this area dangerous to live? And what are the areas to avoid for living? Thank you.

Newsham park is huge and is in the centre of 4 distinct areas.

Green Lane is on one side ——this is quite nice if you live in the semi-detached houses on one side. Otherwise it is bland and featureless,

West Derby rd is vibrant and has a Thursday market —the houses range from semi-detached to terraced.

Sheil Road is a busy road on the way to Anfield with semi’s and terraced houses,

Kensington is semi’s and terraced housing.

Newsham Park and its environs was in Victorian times very swish but now it it is a little worn and run-down but subject to major re-development at some stage. It is an area where families have lived for years, mixed with transient students and others. You could live in one street and find that it is very nice and quiet with nice neighbours which is the norm. Like everywhere there are bad neighbours but you woud be unlucky if that happened.
Its not the most salubrious area but it’s not particularly dangerous and most people are doing the best that they can for their families.
Don’t be nervous ——- if the worse comes to the worse you can always move.
You could live in the worst part of Liverpool and find you have great neighbours and live in the best parts and find you had fallen among thieves.
