Hi there people,I'm a soon to be a university gradaute who has got a job starting early August in Telford. Can anyone enlighten me as to where the best places to live in Telford are and where to avoid?Although I plan to have a car, I would ideally like to be within walking distance (less than 20 mins) of my new job, which is situated in the little business park next to junction 5 of the motorway and the Telford central train station. I therefore have been considering Hollinswood, Dawley, St Georges and Oakengates as possible places to live. In general, I much prefer to be somewhere that is noisy and has a bit of life to it, than in a place that is peaceful but dead.Is there one place that would be best for me? Are the other places to consider?As a side note, is it easy to walk from say anywhere in St Georges and Oakengates to the business park, without having to take massive detours to find a bridge over the motorway?In terms of local amenities, this is what I would ideally like within a 5/10 minutes walk. In order of preference1) Local food shop (preferably a supermarket)2) Pub3) Chip shop / or any other greasy takeaway place4) Sports club with tennis and squash courtsMany thanks for any help, I would be deeply grately for some expertise in this area.Tom
