in England
Could anyone help me to find a cheapest place to live in England?

I mean cheap House price, rent, council tax, petrol price, parking, all utility prices and low price grocery supermarkets near by.

    Have you tried North Lincolnshire? Property prices in some areas are alot cheaper. There are many farm shops and petrol is reasonably priced.

    I live in North Manchester/East Lancashire and it`s pretty cheap here. Rochdale seems to have the lowest prices for petrol in the country, there are loads of cheap and well known supermarkets. House prices are very good for my town, Bacup, but I`ve been told its not that nice an area, although after living here I`ve not seen any crime.

    unfortunately i could never bring myself to recommend bacup, but it certainly is cheap, this entire East lancs area i think must be amongst the cheapest (im from burnley)

    As mentioned, parts of Lincolnshire - also most of Norfolk and (apparently) Weston-super-Mare in Somerset!
    "Cheap", "Fast", "Right" -- pick two.

    mmmm, I live in Weston-super-Mare and I would dispute that!

    Cheap houses - nope maybe cheaper than cities but not really cheap!
    Cheap food - nope
    Cheap petrol - ummm, nope, again maybe cheaper than cities but not really cheap!
    Cheap Council Tax - hahahaha, if only... you should hear the complains locals make about it!

    If weston was cheap I would be richer I'm sure!

    Most of Norfolk, even inland from Chelsea-on-Sea has become VERY expensive over the last 10 years.

    My friend lives in Sheffield and she says its very cheap. However she is a student, I think she pays £45 a week (inc water bills) for her room in a student house. Considering in London I pay £75 (exc bills) and this is VERY cheap for students in London, I'd say Sheffield.

    for many years my home town of billingham (TS23) has the honour of being the cheapest place to live - you can still buy a houses in tesside - middlesbrough for less than £40K.
    Everything is cheap:o
    Even the men :p
