00:00 The Sunday Times Best Places to Live list for 2024 has been announced, after a team

00:07 of expert judges travelled up and down the UK, leaving no stone unturned to find the

00:11 very best of the bunch, both overall and regionally too.

00:17 A regional winner for the entire Midlands was picked, and a West Midlands jewel chosen

00:21 for the crown, Sturchley, was the winner.

00:26 And this time, for the first time, the overall winner is in Scotland. Great schools, great

00:30 shops and the great outdoors all come together for the judges' favourite North Berwick in

00:35 East Lothian. It's also the first time a seaside town has come out on top.

00:39 The list, which has been running for 12 years now, looks at things like culture, transport,

00:44 school league tables, house prices, broadband speeds, access to greenery and vibrancy of

00:49 the high streets to decide on a winner each year. But with so many great places to be

00:53 in our region, do you agree with the judges' decisions?

00:58 Is Sturchley the best place to live in the Midlands, or would you have picked somewhere

01:01 else?
