M53 Corridor

I'm after a bit of advice about the M53 corridor between Chester and Wallasey.

Basically, anywhere along the peninsula.

There is a possibility that we may have to move up there because of work and I was just wondering what that area was like in terms of schools and general family life. We've already looked at house prices and such and we can afford a hell of a lot more up there than we can here in the south but which areas should we avoid and which would be a good place to look at?

Ta muchly!

Most people will tell you to avoid Ellesmere Port - but I rather like the place. Some parts are really very nice, particularly around Sutton and Neston (which overlooks the Dee). I used to work for the council there. I go to Liverpool once or twice a week and turn off the M53 onto the A41 at J7 and go through Eastham - which is also very acceptable if a bit busy because of the A41 - and then Bebington (also OK), and into Birkenhead (still a bit grimy TBH) and through the tunnel. I don't really know Wallasey - Flymo's your man, he lives there. Generally the Wirral is a nice spot to live, a lot of it surprisingly rural, but with the advantage of a large city not far away.

2 cities really, as there is also Chester which is lovely. North Wales also on your doorstep, Cheshire Oaks (big shopping outlet place) and Manchester/Peak District not a million miles away.

And discount other parts of Cheshire which aren't too far off the M53/M56 like Helsby, Frodsham etc. Nice enough places to live

Thanks guys More than appreciated.

As it turns out the hospital is not willing to pay what they said they would so this move looks unlikely.

if it does come off shout out as I missed this thread but have a lot of knowledge of the wirral so might be able to help
