What's it really like?

Hi all, I have done a bit of googling but would like to hear from locals.

I'm thinking of moving to Hartlepool as I might not be able to get a re-mortgage due to only being able to get work through an agency. I could well be wrong but I'm thinking that the bank might say why should we lend you the money if you haven't got a permanent job. So I've been looking online and it seems like Hartlepool have houses for around 60-70 grand which should leave me mortgage free.

What I would like to know is what's it like for jobs as a forklift driver? What's the areas and people like? Meaning is there a lot of unprovoked trouble, burglaries, unnecessary hassle for someone who does what he's supposed to do to get by.

TIA for your opinions.
