Nigel Huddleston MP has welcomed the news that a Halifax survey has found that Wychavon is the third best place to live in the UK.
Wychavon was judged on criteria such as employment, earnings and life expectancy alongside other factors like the weather and the number of pubs. Indeed, the achievement is made all the more impressive by the comprehensive nature of the study. The third place finish represented a massive 42 place rise up from last year’s list, and displaced traditional stalwarts of the quality of life survey such as St Albans and the Chilterns.
Nigel Huddleston said: “this fantastic result for Wychavon comes as no surprise to me and is a deserved reflection of the tireless efforts of the local council and local public services in the area, which are widely recognised as amongst the best run in the country. Wychavon is a beautiful area, with an abundance of fantastic schools, shops and pubs and I feel privileged to represent such a picturesque and well-serviced corner of the UK in Parliament. I will continue to work with our councils to maintain this lofty position as the third best placed to live in the country - perhaps we can even build on this result and displace Orkney and Winchester next year!”
