Relocation Assistance Needed
Hello everyone! I truly appreciate you taking the time to read my post, and I’d be grateful for any advice you can offer.
My company is moving to Harwell, Didcot in a few months, and my wife and I will be making the move with them. As we are not familiar with the area, we’re looking for recommendations on the best places to live that would provide a reasonable commute to Harwell. Ideally, we’d love a location that offers a vibrant social scene, access to activity clubs and communities, a good gym, and is budget-friendly for a middle-income household.
Additionally, we both practice Taijutsu and would be interested in joining a new club if there are any options available.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions!
