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

The shops and transportation in general are good. The building should look into better ways to encourage proper recycling for residents. It seems like a waste of time recycling because the bins collection system downstairs are never adhered to. Also people stealing posts shouldn’t be happening when we have cameras in the reception area.

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

I struggle when I have problems because I don’t have an emergency contact. I have a number I can call but only when they’re working so no access when they’re on holiday or after working hours. This is very frustrating. There has been multiple Issues with no hot water in the flat or my smoke alarm beeping for days/months due to a faulty system. During these times, there was no one to complain to or take the matter urgently. This is not good especially for the amount we pay to live here. Our issues should be treated efficiently and timely.
