What you said about Oakley Vale…
In last week’s blog we put the call out to hear from those residents who recently moved to Oakley Vale within the last year or so. We were thrilled with the response – take a look below:
“we moved here the end of June. Have found everyone so friendly and helpful.” – Clare
“Loving our new life in Oakley Vale, moved here at the end of Feb 2018 and have had so much fun exploring this area and all the lovely villages which are local to us. Moved here from Bedfordshire and hoping to relocate other members of our family here to join us.” – Steve
“I moved in May last year. It’s probably the nicest area in Corby, I enjoy the ability to walk to Tesco in 20 minutes, Brooke Weston is a 15 minute walk and I like the green spaces and walkways.” – Daniel
We’re still looking for more responses – so keep getting in contact on Facebook or Twitter in the comments.
