Rugeley is a top place to live, sure, there isn't really much to do but I really love living here. And whoever says the Springfield’s estate is no good, they're wrong. I lived there since I was born and everyone on that estate is ace. The pubs are cool too, I go out every weekend and never get bored, there’s always someone out that you know and everyone is cool. The shrew is the top place to go!

Rugeley isn’t rubbish...there is nothing for people to do and the shops are rubbish. It needs more shops instead of takeaways charity chops and tanning places...

Rugeley needs more for young kids to go and do, there are too many pubs, card shops and charity shops, and Rugeley needs a complete face lift and some serious cash invested into the town.
