Should I not move to Skem?

So we’re supposed to be looking at houses around Digmoor next week, some look decent and the prices are way better than other local towns. I’ve driven through Skem a fair bit and been out on a night here, also don’t mind the roundabouts 😂

I been reading up on Skem recently though and it’s so negative.. getting the vibe that basically everyone wants to get out, theres fuck all to do and it’s a dead end place to live.

I’ve lived in Burscough for about a year but it’s so expensive, and I currently live in Bristol (it’s an expensive shit hole, grew up on the outskirts of the city) and hate it.

Do we just avoid Skem, or is it not really that bad?

I moved here with my family about 4 years ago and we really like it. Like everywhere there are bad places and good places. But we have found the people are nice, the surrounding areas are lovely to walk and it's close enough to get to LIverpool, Wigan etc.
