Perry Park View, B42

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

Parking spaces are very tight. There are only markings on certain properties. It is a quiet neighbourhood. It can get messy when windy as the bins go flying around. The neighbours on the development don't really care and expect other people to clear it. It's not a caring community type of development. There is a strong smell over by the canal.

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

I wish I had raised issues sooner with the developer. There are certain residents who have not stuck to the agreements in their contracts.

Having 3 toilets in the property was heaven when you have a family.
