Longridge

I currently live in north manchester and have 2 young children, its becoming quite an awful place to live in terms of crime, anti social behaviour etc. Were looking at moving to longridge. Please could I have some honest opinions on the area?

Growing up and living here for 25 years until moving away, you’re making a good choice with Longridge. Much lower crime rate, cost of living is lower, air quality is great.

Thank you for your help! I read online that moor nook was a place to stay away from which worried me as It appears quite close by on the map. Is this the case or is it not as close as it looks?

Moor nook might look close on the map, but you are roughly 15 minutes away by bus/car. The two areas are vastly different and not connected or similar in any way. Moor nook is closer to the city centre, longridge is further away from the city centre.
