Whatever you do don't go to Bridgewater (I'm guessing this points been almost rammed in enough).
Internet connectivity is a bit hit and miss, most of the bigger towns have decent ADSL provision, some limited cable and places like Taunton, etc. have FTTC, most of the bigger towns will have FTTC by the end of the year tho a fair few places have recently been knocked back from Aug/Sept to Dec.
I would also avoid chardbut theres quite a few places around North somerset where employment isn't too bad if you have good qualifications/experience and/or are within reach of Bristol.
I'm also the opinion that the North Somerset coastal areas are a bit bleak in many ways, while kinda nice in the sleepy/relaxed kinda way a lot of the infrastructure is run down, job prospects hit and miss, not a huge amount to do other than the touristy things, etc.
Haha, Bridgwater has definitely been pointed out as a NO GO
They would like to be more costal, but I think it's more efficient if we would move to somewhere with more job opportunities, at the current moment my Dad works for Wisemans Dairys (but is looking to change jobs) and my Mum is a carer, and I've been told there is a Wisemans in Bridgwater, so if my Dad was to transfer it would be beneficial to be close to there, but not live there
I live in Weston myself and although I am completely bored of it, its not actually that bad. I work just below Taunton at Wellington, and I used to work in Bristol too. I use J21 almost every day and in the mornings it can sometimes take about 30-40mins to get to the junction itself, catch it just right and it will take just a few minutes.
Clevedon is very nice but there is nothing there at all, its just very well kept. Taunton is ok from what I have seen and I have many friends who live there, they say its ok but again nothing amazing. If your parents like walks etc then anything around the Quantocks area would be great but its a little far from any real jobs. Taunton, Yeovill and Bristol I would say are your main job sites. Exeter can be if you go to the south of somerset.
Just my 2 cents.
e: avoid Bridgewater!
e2: Areas of weston have Fibre Optic which is very nice. Taunton I believe have it in some areas too.
It would be nice to live in Weston, but does it no annoy you with all the tourists (I know there's not huge amounts)
Yeah, we liked Clevedon, was a nice tidy place when we visited, at the minute the Parents are usually working all the time so they don't have much time to do anything else, but I think if we move they would definitely be out and about.
I think Taunton, Yeovil, Bristol are the main spots to be looking at, although I don't think they want to live in Bristol, so I think Taunton or Yeovil are good calls.
