A guide to living in North East England

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

I have absolutely no bad reviews to give about this area, the shops are all great, co-op, butchers, bakers, hairdressers, post office, dentist, doctors,chemist, and other shops close at hand, I haven't tried the pubs yet, but its on my list, parking is good, not sure about public transport as I use my car, overall its a very quiet peaceful area, just what I was looking for.

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

Only thing i can really respond to here is about my bins as I don't have any, this is because this bungalow was used as an office by the manager, and it has not yet been registered on the council site yet, so I cant get my council tax or my bins until this has been sorted, thanks

Very nice area, plenty of nice restaurants around, nice walk up and down the river, lots of bars, and only 10-15 mins walk to the centre.
