After almost 2 years, my opinion remains the same: The street is very quiet with dedicated parking for each plot. There is a small park area which provides some green. Bin collections takes place every week with no disruptions

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

Yes, they have been a bit slow in responding, however all issues have been resolved

Pros - close to the local shops, supermarkets and town ctr - 5min walk to local bus stop - 11 min drive to Heaton Park - isolated from main street, traffic and noise - parkings for guests - a lot of green, trees and grass squares - friendly neighbourhood, no anti-social behaviours - overall, the area is safe to live and walk at night Cons - no metrolink or tram in the area - burglaries reports in the area, installing house security systems is recommended

We have to raise the issue through the online portal, the response from the building team is fast but not for the contractor who is the right party to fix the issue.
