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

The area has a limited but good range of local shops, cafes, and restaurants within walking distance, offering both convenience and variety. There are supposed green spaces nearby that are ideal for walks and family activities, but they are yet to be fully developed and we hope to see progress on this soon. I am not impressed with the public transport links; they are unreliable, with frequent delays and no shelter from rain or sun at the bus stop. Access to the nearest train station is also not very convenient. However, on my street, parking is generally available, bin collections are consistent, and the area remains quiet overall.
