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

The good thing is access, shops and transport are easy because everything is in range and the location is fantastic but the one thing they failed to do is secure parking for the residents which brings everything to a 5 out of 10.

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

Excellent and quick to fix the issues at hand which is good

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

Parking if they told us that we would never get Parking we would have considered some other place but instead in the beginning we were told Parking would be available but at a cost which was better than nothing and now after moving in we were told they couldn't give us Parking after signing contracts and everything.
