    Closer to work. Anyone know what havercroft is like? I live Elsecar. Also had one from Crofton? I applied for wakefield areas before coronavirus happened then lost interest in moving but its worth checking it out before I decline again....

    Havercroft a bit of a sh*thole, Crofton a lot better

    My mother and grandmother were from Havercroft so I've spent a bit of time there. I'd go Crofton all day long.

    That's the only fault with Crofton the people that live there :D
    I once worked with a gang of brickies from there, hearts of gold but boy were they argumentitive all day long they'd argue the toss between each other.

    I'd take a drive through Havercroft and make your own mind up mate.

    I'm sure like a lot of places there'll be better and worse parts, but no point in standing on ceremony - the bits I've seen are bit of a dump!

    Havercroft is a deprived area, there is a lot of unemployment. It is surrounded by nice areas and housing. Crofton has it's areas of deprivation too but is generally considered a nice village. Bus services to Wakefield are a little more frequent from Crofton.

    You'd be alright in Crofton mate, plenty of nearby countryside and near to Wakefield for a few nice bars and restaurants.
