Prestwich has been named one of the best places to live in the UK, according to The Sunday Times. The town has made its debut on the prestigious list, thanks to a fast-improving roster of bars and restaurants including Osma, Keg, Cask and Bottle and many more.
Just four miles from the city centre, the area is also home to a fish and chip shop voted as one of the best in the country. It comes just week after it was announced the Bury town will undergo a huge £100 million pound project that is set to 'transform' the area and give it ‘a new community heart’.
The Longfield Centre is set to be redeveloped over the next few years with a mix of new shops, homes, public space and a health centre. So the Manchester Evening News visited the shopping centre in the heart of Prestwich to find out from residents about what it's like living in one of the best places in the UK.
