me and the other half need someone to live desperately. Seen a few places to rent in Chester-Le-Street and it seems ok for me to get to work and for her to find work in Durham/Newcastle/gateshead and it's still only 45 minutes away from my family

 

just wondering if we have any locals from there on here, anything I should know about, etc?

 

failing that is bobbyshinton's spare room still available? :D

J69 is from CLS, don't know if that helps make your mind up. :D

 

I lived there for a year about 10 years ago. I didn't really like it tbh - a bit insular and too many mackems. Transport links are good though.

Got family next door in Houghton. Chester has a nice 'town' centre, but its chav central. Mackem chav central in point of fact. But aye, its convenient for toon/Gateshead and the sooth all at the same time. As good a bet as any place for a move.

Transport links are good, Renton? My immediate thought was bus-tastic to get there from town, plus taxis from town would cost a mint. Too far out for my liking if you have any links with Newcastle.

It's more or less equidistant from Newcastle, Durham, Consett and *cough* that other place. Plus there's the train and Express buses. One problem is though it is just outside T&W so bus passes aren't valid iirc.

Better now than it has been in decades.

 

-Hourly Trains North and South to all Major Cities

-Ten mins from Newcastle

-Five mins from Durham

-Few decent restaurants now

-3 Nightclubs and about 20 pubs

-Big Tescos just opened

-Cricket Ground brings in a lot of revenue - Elton John and UB40!!!!!

-House prices are likely to rise with it being an expanding town.

 

You could do a lot worse tbh. In my whole life I cant say ive ever been threatened, mugged, shouted at etc. on the streets. Working in Darlington however it happened on a weekly basis!
