Hi all
After much deliberation, we are looking at these two towns but are undecided between either
We have an 8 yr old son and the schooling in both is looking good
Anyone in this area know the towns well?
Crime stats are v similar as the social demographics
We heard from someone well know well in rushden that raunds has a problem with gangs of kids at night - any opinion?
Anything else that may help is much appreciated
Thx

I don't know these areas but because you've not had any replies I asked my husband.
He said of the 2, he'd choose Thrapston and avoid Raunds.
