Union, M3

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

Good location with a range of restaurant, bars and shops available in walking distance. Little traffic noise heard from the rooms, although I am on 31st floor, but minimal disturbance. There’s great bus and rail access.

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

Not very well. Repairs are slow, it took my toilet seat nearly 3 weeks to be replaced. My flatmate threw things at my head and it took over 2 weeks to be moved away from someone that was violent, despite having an independent witness to this and my flatmate admitting it.

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

I wish they would be more transparent with the fact that they won’t move you quickly, you really have to self advocate to be moved. It’s an uphill battle and if you’re not confident or persistent they would encourage you to stay where you are.
