Hello

I'm in the process of moving, and trying to decide between the following (widely distributed!!) places to live:

Frimley / Frimley Green
Bracknell
Crowborough
Reigate
Haslemere / Beacon Hills

Anybody live in one of these places or have any good or bad comments?

Thanks for your help.

Steve.

I've got relatives that live in Frimley Green and it appears to be a nice place..I haven't ever heard anything bad about it from them.

Bracknell, It depends whereabouts really. Like most towns theres good and bad places..

Parts of Wokingham are quite nice as well and its also convenient for Motorways, trains, etc, although parking in the town can be a right pain

I'll second what Nath says - I've only lived in Wokingham for 4 months but I really like it. Traffic can be a bit slow sometimes but nowhere near as bad as Reading.

I work in Wokingham, and indeed it is not to bad to get to from the motorway, there are a decent enough shops in town (although they could do with a few more). And a few of the pubs have been recently done out, like the Two Pops and the Molly Millar.

I can think of considerably worse places to live!! (Slough etc)

Jim :D

Guess it really depends on where you want to travel to.

Crowborough, if we're talking east sussex one here (home of Conan Doyle) is nice. Friends live there and seem to like it.

I have lived in Bracknell all my life and think its luvvly. Easy access to M3/M4/M25, airports, and London.

Areas to avoid would be Gt Hollands, Easthampstead, Bullbrook (IMHO) but there loads of nice areas on the outskirts that are almost in the countryside.

Property can be expensive, but not as expensive as Wokingham !!

Your not far wrong there druddle, everything seems to be telephone numbers at the moment :eek:

I lived in Crowthorne for about 11 years as a kit. My brother still lives there after living in great hollands (!) for a while.

It's quite nice, a proper little suburban town type of place. Much nicer than bracknell, but it's still only a few minutes from reading / bracknell..

The bonus was the GTi-day at TRRL (now TRL)..
Never seen so many GTI's around a quite little town before ;)
