The Vale is in the top ten again.
The Vale of Glamorgan is one of the top 10 best places to live in the UK, according to a new quality of life survey, carried out by the Halifax Estate Agents.
The Halifax Estate Agents scored counties across the UK according to factors such as quality of housing, employment, earnings, education, health, crime, and weather.
The survey found that outside the south of England, the Vale has the best quality of life. Houses are relatively large, and the county has an owner occupancy rate that is above average. Life expectancy rate is high, and the GCSE results of our school pupil's are again, among the best in the country.
