The energy meters are not in a good condition which makes it difficult to get an accurate meter reading. This has resulted to the energy bills being estimated and it actually costly. The meters should be in a good condition immediately to prevent the residents being over charged and to enable me take accurate readings when possible.

The area is awesome to live since there is a londis close and a big Tesco. It is also a close walk to high cross so lots of restaurants and shopping. There is good parking available. Abbey park is also a close walk away for the summer and warmer days. It is a perfect location as it is out of the centre so is never loud but close enough to be convenient and for everywhere to be walkable.
