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

Living in this area has been quite convenient, as there are plenty of shops (e.g, the moor) within easy walking distance. Train station is also 10 minutes walk away. The only downside is the traffic noise like the soundproofing isn’t the best, so you can hear cars quite clearly at times. Also the bills can feel a bit high. Aside from that, it’s a nice place to live.

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

I haven’t raised any issues since moving in, but before that they were always very responsive.
