  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Relatively cheap because it's very rural. Town centre is nearly 2 miles away. Social aspect was poor but London and Leicester is a train ride away. Wellingborough is an ideal location to travel to other cities.

    • There isn't a nightlife here because it isn't a university town. There isn't much choice for nightlife unless you like whetherspoons or very traditional pubs.

    • Me and my colleague would organise to do things together. There are community helping events to take part in. Additionally, there is the sports and social club - they organise events to like Christmas meals for the people who join.
