The good aspects of my living area is that it is close by to all amenities within the town. The bad things are the people who don't pay for parking blocking up the roads. Also there is no control over people being loud during anti social hours.

Problems have always been sorted as soon as possible, this has been pleasant.

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

I wish I knew they were going to up the price of the parking and rent. It is a small space and we should not have to pay so much. I also wish I knew they were going to take away space in the lobby area

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

I wish I had a flat that didn’t face in to the sun in the afternoon because it gets quite warm. I’m also facing the road which can be noisy when windows are open. I don’t really like the vertical blinds which flap about in the wind.. that could have been thought through more.
