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

The local area is generally very good with a good range of shops, restaurants and a pharmacy nearby, which makes day to day living convenient. There are also pleasant open spaces around the development. Living on the street is quiet and peaceful with no major issues.The main drawback is public transport. As an NHS worker sometimes relies on buses, the lack of a direct bus service from Littlemoor to Dorchester can be inconvenient. A direct route would greatly improve accessibility and make the development ideal. Additional street lighting in the lanes would also improve safety and visibility, especially at night.

One thing we wish we had known before moving in is that the second bathroom only has a bath and no shower, which may not suit everyone
