You mentioned the taxi company having a bad reputation, but also forgot to mention all the druggies that accumulate around the shopping centre. Also it’s worth looking at GP catchment areas and ensuring that you don’t move to an area well TelDoc is the only option.

I live in Telford and ive been to that place on the thumbnail its a nice view

I live in Telford. Nature wise I'd say it's quite relaxing. The view of the Wrekin from Wellington is amazing! Lots of history and quite a lot of things to do in Telford Town Centre. I'd recommend Telford.

No mention of the grooming gangs that are allowed to do what they want..

been here 40 years council homes are full of people who are not nice and the council will do nothing to change this same with the police, the town park is a dump compared to much better parks in other towns its just a field, kids play area pond and alice in wonderland and small zoo, nothing great. buses are dirty, streets are dirty, asda is dirty, most shops are too expensive wellington market is very poor, and I would not go to any pubs at night, its not a safe place to be. sorry but your new to this place try updating this in a few years.

I think you are 3 doors down from me! I totally agree with your comments made in this video. I’m also from outside of Telford!

Hi , I am considering moving to Telford soon, just wandering if it is multicultural? As my son is mixed race and I would hate for him to be bullied isolated in school etc.. because of his race? Is Telford a racist place ? Does it have many people from different backgrounds ?

From Walsall it's definitely a better move 😂

“Was we”?!

I live here. Can confirm if you like nature and you like long walks. This would be a perfect place to move to.

Thank you for the information. May I know about schools in Telford.

My late wife lived in Lawley village before all the new developments . I remember when it was all lovely fields with cows and sheep grazing.

You forgot Wellington railway station which is actually bigger than Oakengates.

@Mark Garner I am very impressed with your presentation, I was in Telford for 4 months end of 2023. For a man who only has been in Telford for a year you are spot on. You also an eloquent speaker. From Zambia here.

T.E.L.F.O.R.D :) !!! Great to see such a positive review :)

No mention of Telford grooming gang's.

Not as cheap as brum for takeaways. Takeaways expensive here and close early. Only a 24hr maccys is available lol

I loved growing up here. It's changed a lot since I was a kid in early 90's, the town feels like it's getting meat on the bones, filling out a bit (which in the case of a new town, is a good thing) and maturing as a place. The growth over the last 10 years has seemingly brought relative prosperity, and Telford has slowly been climbing the various city index tables and it really does look like it has a good future. Wellington has really improved over the last few years really great to see that transformation. A cutural heart is really what was missing back in the early naughties. If you like walking you're going to find so many unexpected things dotted around the place. There's lots of evidence of old industrial works buried in the woodlands all over the town, along with some pretty cool concrete structures which came with the estabishment of the new town, most of which can't be found by looking at a map. The thing I don't like is the monolithic slab of the shopping center, or to be more accurate, its corporate ownership. There is no business community around the town center as there is in Shrewsbury for example. But most importanty, the town centre has essentially one half-assed investor, instead of multiple competitors striving to make the most out of their plot of land, as it is in every other town in the uk. I hope that the council can continue to reduce the favourability of the shopping center. It's great to see you so happy about the place and I wish you all the best.

Thank you for sharing

Just recommended to my son in low, he will call you soon😊

Thank you for sharing, my daughter will move to stafford..can’t believe it is cost living much cheaper than Gloucestershire 😮

Hi Mark, we’re planning to move to Telford during the summer. We’re living in Surrey and we’re selling our flat. Which areas of Telford that would be suitable for a family of 4?

Is that woodside new estate ?

Plenty of new builds ,2 by me

Bromford housing 2 bed 600

Its lovely in Telford Im from Shawbirch ❤

I moved from London to Telford a few years ago , the cost was one reason Acess to GPs is just as bad. Renting is obviously cheaper, however public transport in Telford is atrocious, and sadly all new developments are being built on entirely car led design ., leading to car dependency. That’s not going to improve without massive local and central government change

I've lived in telford my whole life I know alot of people my dad's family are from Ironbridge yes there is some crime ect but over all telford has alot of good people good places to go beautiful walks I feel lucky to live in telford we have all we need ❤️

I wouldn’t move to Telford if I was given a free house , it’s a shit hole

Hello @Mark How many lakes in Telford? And how many population ?

The only thing is, that there is way too much new development going on Telford and surrounding areas at the moment. If you look at Lawley for example, and further out, Newport, they are just taking all the green space. I know it is supply and demand but when will it end?

I'm Telford now as well, moved from Handsworth in late 80's....

In short: No.

The build quality is cheap, no garden or style. an outsider telling people about Telford is a joke. Builders told me at the time, the estate was cheap garbage.

What do you know about Telford? Ask a family who has lived their for generations what they think about the new town and how it imported all the social problems from the cities. How Telford is the asian grooming capital of Britain. and still is if you ever go down regent st or Victoria avenue, which used to be posh before the invasion.

Born and raised in Telford unfortunately Telford isn't what it used to be massive over devevelopment and fast growing community resulting in strain on local services.

Telford is boring, crime ridden and laced with litter and good luck getting a viable job.

Hello Mark, It was a lovely video. Thank you. It would be lovely if you could compare places in the area e.g Shrewsbury v Telford and rate them . I'd like to see that.

I moved from Norfolk to Telford way back in 1981 (for work) and it was very much a concrete jungle back then. But the old Telford Development Corporation had an extensive tree planting programme back then and forty years later, we can all see how well it worked. Pretty much everywhere is lined with mature trees. Although I'm an East Anglian by birth (Cambridge), Shropshire and Telford has become my adopted home.

Crimes quite low id say, the cops in Telford are probably the biggest criminals .

The market towns were lovely before the slum of telford was created. Move chavs from the cities with their social problems was a disaster for the area. This is the truth. Delete if you dont want the truth.

Dont come to Telford, we dont need anymore overflow.

I lived there for three years and got to say it’s nice tbf just feels a bit far

I have lived in Telford since the 80s when my family moved here from West Midlands Good points Wrekin area is beautiful lots of unspoiled countryside Ironbridge nice museums shops, pubs and of course the Ironbridge,also lots of nice walks Town park good for kids the town centre is ok for shopping Bad points Lack of a decent night life if you’re after that kind of thing Never ending house building around areas like Priorslee and Lawley Wellington town centre is grim so is Oakengates centre Growing population making the roads more congested Public transport not great

Telford is a good place. I've made several KZbin videos exploring some amazing and beautiful areas of Telford for anyone interested in exploring some more random and interesting places 😀
