or should I move and cut down in the autumn so they
will shhot next year for cropping the year after.

I prefer the former approach and may well try a couple
even if strongly advised against it!!!



Go for it. I tried that a few years ago and getting a crop in the first
year seemed to have no long term ill effects. The books tend to talk
about raspberries being surface rooted ; be prepared to go well down to
dig them up.
