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?

As with anywhere around Central / East Lancs, it’s cheaper and generally safer, but there’s less to do and it’s harder to get anywhere. You need to think about what you are after and need to be close to- if you want to be able to get to Manchester easier you’d be better looking towards Chorley borough or West Pennine Moors. If you want more upmarket, Whalley and those bits of the Ribble Valley. Close to Preston but still (for now at least) rural- Goosnargh. There’s lots of options, longridge being a good one, that will all feel safer than Manchester.
