It's a shame it's known for being a bit shabby/poor/undesirable.
I went there once in about 1980 & got to fire an air rifle for the first time & that was as good as it got...:DNot Again0 -

You'll find it slightly to the east of West Dorset, if that's any help.

I can't see Canterbury prices going down much. It's a lovely town and mentally expensive. The villages surrounding are big money as well. Good schools and nice town. I suppose there is a bit of meat on the bone with prices but it will never be a cheap area. By the way. I do not live there.We love Sarah O Grady0

I live just outside and work in Dundee, biggest employers in that city are local council, NHS trust, Universities (dundee and abertay) and civil service. there is a pension call centre and job centre plus call centre plus HMRC. There are apparently just under 95000 jobs in this city with over 10% of them beng supplied by NHS and local council alone. I wonder if it's the comparativly low house prices here helps. Also does low house prices = lower commercial costs?? Thinking along the lines of say JCP call centre, if its cheaper to run a call centre in Dundee compared to say west dorset then surely the Dundee centre has a stronger chance of being reprieved.
While property in Scotland is cheaper and more affordable in comparison to wages than other areas throughout the UK, there is probably a good chance that the report only focusses on Englan and Wales.
They seem to have forgotten about Scotland and Northern Ireland again:wall:
What we've got here is....... failure to communicate.

I thought that this report was about public sector workers. I cant see that there are many in Oxford, apart for the hospitals. Whilst there are cut backs at the hospitals I dont think it will be that bad.0
