Don’t think you’ll have that much in the way of work options within newton abbot mate, might have to commute a bit to places like exeter, torquay, paignton etc. but on the plus side, the smaller the town the less amount of drivers you have to compete with regarding jobs. At 52, it’s not that old unless you feel it, if you’re in good general health and have a good work ethic then shouldn’t be a problem. I’m 56 myself and currently doing a mix of class 2 driving and warehouse work, some of which is hard work but I tend to have the ‘can do’ attitude, if you have that, you’re on the right road (a pun there lol).
