Stoke-on trent, Peterborough, Plymouth,Folkeston: which one would you choose to live?

Question

I'm 28 yo Professional and have some job offer in these cities.
I refer to public transportation, spare time, green areas, sport facilites, easyness to reach other big city, etc.? and as amusement and leasure? in general I’d say as “quality of life”.

Since my decision will depend on other reasons (salary, quality of work, etc) too, is there anyone among these that is better and anyone to avoid? (in case I would have to choose not exaqctly the best as quality of life, I’d like to know if the other ones are good too!).
If I would choose Stoke, would it be so bad, as I read in some olther post?
(I've been there, this is my impression: Hanley is nice, refurbished, many shops, it appears clean, there is a park. Stoke is not too bad, but all around there are sheds and other industrial building. People look friendly generally, but not a few of them look scruffy or poor. Probably there should be an high grade of unemployment. Does anyone know how is the economic trend? anyway it's very well linked)

I would not want to live in a bad/sad city!

Thank you

(due to only one answer received, I repost a similar question)

Answer 1

Peterborough is not good at the moment I would avoid it. I would choose to live in a university town where people appear to be more friendly. Peterborough was once described as the blot of the A1!!! says it all.

Answer 2

Plymouth is grotesque to envision. It grow to be bombed heavily in the final conflict so there is extremely little of the previous city left. i chanced on the situation extremely depressing. It grow to be re-in-built the process the late 1940s, early Nineteen Fifties, no longer a era prevalent for architectural advantage. in case you have ever watched the Jeremy Kyle tutor, it has a great variety of folk on from Plymouth. circumvent. Peterborough was superb, yet now has an fairly intense inhabitants of Muslims and jap Europeans. there's a great variety of racial stress in Peterborough. one concern in its favour is that it incredibly is only 40 5 minutes to King's go. Stoke on Trent is a series of cities proper at the same time. there is not any real discernible city centre. i think of it incredibly is a typical run down northern city that's crying out for investment, yet won't in any respect get because of the incompetent Labour/Liberal councils. This leaves Folkeston. it incredibly is on the coast, straightforward traveling distance of London. it incredibly is due for extensive investment with the rail links to London and the continent. i could say it incredibly is a community which you will as nicely see a return on property costs faster, extremely than later.

Answer 3

When I knew it, 30 years ago, Folkestone was elderly, struggling to remain genteel. Now I hear it's looking brighter, smarter, younger.



If it's true, and I imagine it probably is, it might well suit you.
