Unsafe and dull area to live in

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The local area is frankly - dreadful. The absence of a square and a high street is noticeable and really does impact your day to day living. We are unfortunate enough to have a direct view into a repurposed hotel that probably houses illegal migrants at this stage, accompanied by a bridge which hosts many homeless people under it. Overall, I would not walk 2 minutes away from where the building is as the safety factor can drastically and dramatically decline as soon as you're out of this square. The actual square, despite being blatantly lied to by leasing that it will open in 2025, will not in fact open until spring 2026. There is absolutely nothing to do around here, especially if you do not own a car. Transport links are not that great either. WHile there are direct trains to London, if you miss one, the next one is very likely to be in 20-30 minutes.... If you're a working professional that works in the city, commuting from here will make your life a living nightmare.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Multiple issues have been raised but to no resolution. I occasionally feel the concierge service gaslights me when I raise something as they try to redirect me to the positives of living here....
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
How difficult my day to day life would be when not having a decent high street or being in an area that genuinely feels safe.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The local areas is very nice and feels very safe. There is no local tube station and the trains at Wandsworth town are often cancelled or extremely crowded since the New Acres flats were filled.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Management have ignored many requests and/or lie about the causes of issues.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I would not have moved in if I knew how bad things would be

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The local area is great! The street is relatively quiet if you’re facing the right way Ben collections are good. There are some frequent break-ins, but that doesn’t affect us as we don’t have a car.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
We have had a broken window for over six months now, during the winter this has been a issue. However, the front of house team are incredibly nice, it is just out of general inefficiencies that caused this problem to repeat again and again and again.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The lack of communication is a bad thing. The for sprint increases of men 8%. Good news, the pool is great. The flats work well for this kind of living. And the people are brilliant.

Great location with a lot of good bars/restaurants on doorstep and very close to Wandsworth town. A lot of the ground floor of the development seem to be being filled giving more direct access to shops ect

Didn’t remedy move in situation appropriately and responses/actions were poor.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Nothing that really springs to mind for this question
