Simple Life at Milard Grange, LU5

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

Local area is nice, not too noisy & there are some local shops & pubs very close by. There are quite a few young people with balaclavas on mopeds riding up & down the roads though a couple times a week & the road directly outside our house is fairly busy up to a different development, but the park view opposite is nice. Parking is good, bin collection is good. Young children playing in gardens is quite noisy, especially if you have a window open, but I guess that can’t be helped, it’s just disturbing when they’re screaming with eachother

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

They have responded on the online portal to forwarding to a contractor, but yet to find out a true feel of how well they respond time wise as we only raised issues recently. The time it takes to fix issues will show soon.

I wish I had known this part of the area had a lot of children/adolescents, as I would’ve acted quicker on the other house in a different area had I known. This is personal preference.
