Good and Bad views

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Local facilities in the village and that are nearby are excellent for a village Excellent transportation links to A14 and via the train line. Parking is ok for now but access can be tough with the primary school close by. Bin collections are good but due to change with the new bins in June. Not much traffic noise as such but the development is not finished as of yet so is not fully occupied so only noise mostly is from the builders. No anti social behaviour yet but the development is not fully occupied.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Lack or poor response in answers or time of request. Some issues have been resolved quickly whilst others have been very slow.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Had to purchase bins for the property from the council. Would be good if they were already at the property.

Lovely and quiet place to live. Local pub just up the road and no major traffic/works noise! So quiet at night you feel like you should whisper!
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Very speedily. Minor issues reported but solved within days!
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Clarity on if solar is/will be installed. It shows on our distribution board but no panels appear to be installed.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Exceptional area to live as everything you need is within reach. The only challenge is the car noise we hear in the bedroom because of the location of our house
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Wifi wasn't working but fixed within days. Toilet doesn't flush and still waiting for someone to fix- disappointing!
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Test the toilets ro ensure it flushes. I wish I knew the number of lovely restaurants and places to go around here. Cineworld, Nandos, The Gym to name a few. Absolutely brilliant!
