    I've just heard that Rawtenstall town is getting redeveloped. Does anyone know if this is true?

    There seems to be lots going on and some roadworks and stuff around the outskirts of the town centre ... In fact, I am going up there tomorrow - Ill have a drive round the actual town and let you know whats going on. Ill ask my friend who lives there for good places/streets to buy in Rawtenstall with your budget.

    Hello

    I would look at the local papers online any news about development will be in there.
    Only thing I know is it can be quite rough and there are a lot of asians there.
    Also drugs.drinking and fighting are a problem especially with the local teenages

    Have you thought about Hebden Bridge, as your children could sit entrance to the 23 best school in the country! Crossley Heath in Halifax. Worth research buses from Tod to Halifax as I think that is one bus to Crossleys too.


    Visit Hebden Bridge it is a truly unique place and may suit you or not
