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

Good amentiez nearby however many people who do not live in the development have been holding parties and leaving mess in the car park. Devalues the look of the estate.

That asb would not be dealt with immediately. From outside noise to inside noise, quiet enjoyment in your home is not guaranteed.
