The people of Beeston have told the Post what is great about the town, after it was named in The Guardian as one of the best places to live in Britain.
Residents were quick to endorse the national newspaper's view by giving us their own ideas about what Beeston has to offer, including modern play parks, excellent restaurants, pubs and cafes, good schools, brilliant transport connections and top shops.
Beeston resident Julie McNicholas, 42, of Queen's Road, agreed. She said: "I love Beeston because I don't need a car. Everything I need is within walking distance and I can get to work on the train.
"There are always lots of community events taking place which my kids love going to."
Ian Burniston, 47, of Clinton Street, said: "Beeston has lots of independent shops, restaurants and a young, multi-cultural vibe."
The diversity is what impresses Lee Empringham.
The 39-year-old, of Abbey Road, said: "Beeston is a cosmopolitan area with a mix of people from a huge range of different backgrounds.
"It has good local shops and some smashing coffee bars and restaurants."
Others live in the town because it is a good place to raise children.
Lee's wife, Liliana de Lillo, 41, of Abbey Road, said: "We chose Beeston because it is a family-friendly place with great schools and lots of activities for the kids."
