A guide to living in Derbyshire

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

Parking for residents is limited and poorly designed. What developer builds a 4-bed house with one parking space on a driveway? Parking space for visitors is non-existent so expect clogged up roads throughout the development Bin collections are good and generally reliable - they take more recycling here and general rubbish than other areas we've lived Public transport is limited and only from the centre of Bolsover- a 15 minute walk away from this development. You need a car or be prepared to get taxis if public transport isn't for you Doctors are pretty good. There is no NHS dentist in Bolsover so expect to travel of any are taking patients on We've been here 3 years and were expecting more upgrades/enhancements to the centre of Bolsover by now with all the new estates/homeowners buying but apart from a few nice coffee shops, the centre is full of takeaways or tlbarbers/hairdressers so little on offer to spend money here rather than Chesterfield, Sheffield etc. Makes you wonder what Bolsover District Council are spending their money on?

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

The lack of car parking for residents and visitors is so poor its laughable. If we'd have spent time looking at this more thoroughly we'd probably not have bought the house We'd also wished we'd have spoken to residents before buying as if an honest opinion was given by most from Sutherland Farm View, Boleappleton and Nether View, again we probably wouldn't have purchased on this development

What is the best feature of your home:

The design of the house is excellent giving spacious living areas we thought we'd relish

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

All mentioned above is great with the exception to some anti social behaviours and fights that happens on friday and saturday mornings in front of the building. I once saw 4 police officers handcuffing a guy at 04.00. On other ocassions I hear people fight after clubbing moments. I would suggest that policing is reinforced within the area. However, i do feel safe and secure inside the building.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Yes they did respond on time and provided support.

It seems like the electric appliances are not as energy saving as claimed to be. The bill is normally higher compared to other similar properties.
