Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

There’s a good mix of nearby shops, cafes, and a varied dining scene, plus open spaces and excellent convenience since it’s right opposite the train station, with reliable buses and easy travel, but the bin disposal requires going outside which is inconvenient, and occasional traffic noise can disrupt quiet evenings. I love the convenience and the station opposite, but I don’t like having to go outside to dispose of the bin.

I would like to leave a very positive review for Paul, who has helped us several times with maintenance issues in our flat When we had a problem — whether it was with the light switches, the washing machine, or other small repairs — Paul always came very quickly, usually first thing in the morning. He is always cheerful, friendly, and professional. Paul clearly knows his work very well. He fixes everything quickly, efficiently, and with great attention to detail. It’s always a pleasure to see him — he brings such positive energy and really cares about doing a great job. I believe the company should truly appreciate and value such dedicated employees. Paul is an excellent specialist and a great example of how customer service should be done. Thank you, Paul, for your hard work and great attitude!
