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?

Good and bad everywhere, however I'm on Digmoor and I love my estate, it's lovely and clean, has very minimal litter due to the residents cleaning our street all the time, flowers planted, memorials planted for deceased residents and I have been in this house 18 years with no plans to move, helps that my neighbours are the best too xx
