THE Nottinghamshire town of Bingham has been voted THE best place in the UK to bring up a family – according to a recent study.
The survey carried out by Family Investments gives Bingham top ranking as the most family-friendly location in the country – based on school inspection reports, childcare provision, low crime, affordable housing and other factors.
