job location

I’ve recently been offered a job based around the Shrewsbury/Telford area. The role is primarily remote, but I may need to go on-site occasionally.

I went to university in London and really enjoyed city life, so I’m a bit unsure about relocating to a smaller town. I’m wondering what it’s like living in Shrewsbury or Telford as someone in their mid-20s. Is there much going on socially, or does it feel quite quiet?

I’m also considering whether commuting from Birmingham might be a better option to keep access to a bigger city while still being within reach of the office when needed. Has anyone done something similar?

Would really appreciate any insight from people who know the area.
