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

Excellent location, good local services and shops, and a really nice corner of the city. It's quiet and very well maintained. When the bridge opens, that will make this area even better.

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

Yes. The few issues that have arisen have been quickly and efficiently resolved.

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

The only slight issue is the parking availability for visitors and the viciousness of the Parking attendants who monitor the area. Some of who seem keen to distribute tickets whether valid or not.

Lovely flats, disappointing development

Lee (Tenant)

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

The area is a quick walk to town and an easy journey to the train station for commuters. The parking situation in the whole development isn’t great and very minimal so there’s often people parking on the road or getting tickets. There was more parking at one point but it was removed for a rock garden. There’s also lots of construction still going on which can make going home down wharf road a bit of a mare

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

There were known issues reoccurring in multiple flats that weren’t addressed. There’s been a cracked mirror in Badge lift for ages. We had a gas leak once and it was difficult to get the building to sort promptly

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

I wish I knew how low quality the furniture was and that the exciting atmosphere would only last a year
