I have missed Curry's the most as I get my ink cartridges from there since Tesco stopped selling them.
I've been ordering online but prefer local shops.
If I can buy electrical goods from Euronic ( Marshalls in Clay Cross) I will but Curry's is my next port of call  if not


I always get mine on line from the Cartridge people, never been disappointed yet and reasonably priced.
It's one of the very rare occasions I order online although I usually get my daughter to order them as her company deals with them and she just puts my address in for the ones I want and I give her the money when I see her.

How "nice" an area is to live in, depends entirely on how much money you have to spend on a property.

If you're moderately well-off then Walton or Ashgate are pleasant enough.

A step up from there would be Upper Brampton / Brookside / the poorer end of Somersall, if you don't mind the lack of any local amenities.

If you're fairly rich then the rest of Somersall and out into Holymoorside could be right for you.

If you're a millionaire then Old Brampton, and a few of the out-lying areas to the west are beautiful. But you are getting a bit far from the town out there and are going to keep your chauffer busy driving you to Morrisons every Friday.

As for the rest of the town, well trust me, you can tell a lot about a neighbourhood by how much the houses cost.
There are no property bargains or "secret enclaves" that no one else knows about.

Chesterfield is just like any other town, and if a house looks so cheap that anyone could afford it, it's probably because no one wants to live there.   ;)

It's a pain trying to get
 Shopping done before the parking time runs out isn't it.
I agree with you but think Curry's is suited to being down there mainly because of carrying items to the car.
Have you tried timing yourself as to how long you take to go around the shop looking for what you need to buy.  Also having a shopping list cuts out the time spent looking for what you only need. You don't want to be in pain when shopping, ouch.

Hi

I've been visiting the town centre for years because I love it! I'm now thinking of relocating to Chesterfield altogether and have started looking at properties.

I was wondering, what are the nicest areas to look at? It doesn't have to be close to anything, i'm just looking for decent areas as i'm totally clueless!

Thanks in advance!

Just remember to ask the estate agent what area's are prone to flooding or any that have been flooded because who would buy a house that flood's infact they are not even going to sell unfortunately.  An estate agent or even someone selling a property has to tell you which areas are  the ones that would flood.

I'm unsure how this will work out as well. Will the Posties be expected to work longer days?
I can't see them setting on extra staff to fit it in but agree so much is sent via email these days.
Stamps I reckon will go up yet again and I'm thinking they will be having to pay out an awful lot after what has been revealed recently.

I've read a couple of statements from shops on the Ravenside saying they are re-opening in the next month.
There's been so many rumours about some of them moving into the town centre it needed clarifying from them.
