I worked at Amazon in Rugely for a while so here are my thoughts.
- Good nightlife. Lots of pubs in Rugely. Don't go to Cannock too much: it's a dump. Birmingham/walsall/wolverhampton for busier clubs etc (if you want that.)
- Good shopping. They have supermarkets. Hednesford has a new massive supermarket.
- Safe. Yes. Compared to some surrounding areas.
- Good public transport links to Birmingham. Rugely Trent Valley Train service from rugely to birmingham new street. fast. every hour.
