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

Living in this area has its positives and negatives. On the positive side, there’s a good variety of local shops, supermarkets, and small restaurants that cater to different tastes and budgets. Open spaces like local parks are well-maintained and great for families and children. Public transport links, including buses and trains, are fairly convenient, making it easy to travel to central London and nearby areas. However, there are some downsides. Parking on my street can be a challenge, especially during evenings and weekends, and bin collections are sometimes inconsistent. There is occasional traffic noise, and anti-social behaviour can be an issue at night, especially near bus stops or late-opening shops. Overall, it's a decent place to live with a few manageable issues.
