Kidbrooke Village, SE3

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

The local shops are limited, with few quality options, and there are no restaurants at all. The only pub is below average and uninviting. Open spaces are poorly maintained, often littered and neglected. Public transport is unreliable, with frequent delays and overcrowding. Parking is difficult, and bin collections are inconsistent, leading to rubbish piling up. Anti-social behaviour is a problem, with disturbances and noise, often linked to social housing tenants, making the area feel unsafe. Traffic noise is constant, and overall, the area is becoming increasingly rundown and unpleasant to live in.
