As the village grows more is been built. We now have a Londis in the square which is very handy, 2 pubs within walking distance and plenty of parks, green spaces and lanes for walking the dogs The streets are narrow so when people park on the road and not on their driveway it makes it awkward to pass in certain areas Transport isn’t amazing with a bus service every hour so if kids miss the bus for school then they are late.

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

I like the position of our home. A small private road and right on the perimeter of the estate. The house is very well designed, with larger rooms and windows compared to other new builds. The bad bits are the state of the grassed areas, the unfinished roads which will wreck your cars tyres and suspension in due course, and where the pond is, that area is getting too much attention from the feral kids who have already started to throw stuff in it.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Too many social housies on the estate. So some antisocial issues. Others complaining about not having a place for children to play but there's plenty of room for one by the flats. Terrible rubble filled clay soil so not able to plant directly into the ground.

What is the best feature of your home:

Large rooms and windows. Great layout of the house. Private location and large gardens front and rear.

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

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

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

Good - location Bad - designed to cram-in as many units as possible. Parking - as you might expect some issues but not too bad. I always park on my drive, however some people are either incapable and/or too lazy. Traffic noise can be loud sometimes, but thats because there's some teenager's with a Nissan whos exhaust is hanging off, who think theyre in Tokyo drift, nothing anyone on the estate can do.

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

Overall they've responded well. However, my windows are obviously cheap as they have broke just outside of the warranty. Some don't open and/or close.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I didn't realise there was an extra management fee by Bournville. This is a reality of modern housing but also a BS one. I'm not sure what they do aside write some leaflets about sustainability and some pictures of happy people playing on the grass.
