Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
A sense of belonging, neighbors looking out for each other, and local events that bring people together. Easy access to shops, schools, healthcare, and public transport. Park nearby where you can relax and exercise.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes - regarding hot water issue last month Also prompt fixes around the communal area such as foots and lifts, always kept clean and tidy.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
One thing I wish I had known before moving into The Locks is that while the facilities and location are excellent, the recycling system isn’t as well-organised as I expected. It would have been helpful to know in advance that recycling collections are limited, so I could plan around it.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Very good location; close to town centre and supermarkets, close to train station. Poor bin collection - they don’t take recycling.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
No. Some emails do not get any response from management.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The pricing of certain rooms are ridiculous. You can be charged way more for a smaller place just because it has a “view”. Of what? Wolverhampton?
