Raunds or Thrapston

Options
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.

    Thrapston is probably nicer
