A guide to living in South West England

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

It's a very convenient location; Cabot a 5 minutes walk away, temple meads only a few mins, Sainsbury's downstairs. Bin collections- we just throw rubbish into a chute (when it's working) or drop rubbish into a bin room and it's taken care of. On street parking is limited but the building do have a private car park where you can rent a spot, it is quite pricey.

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

They are amazing for the most part. It's just when the management above the site managers don't let them do certain things. One example is, electric car charging now costs more at boxmakers than it does at a super charger. Double the price. But management can't do anything because the landlord arent budging. We already pay for parking and for them to charge such extortionate rates is not fair. Most buildings/work places offer free elec charging. If the rates were better, more people would go electric which would be better for the environment. LET THE SITE MANAGERS USE THEIR DISCRETION WHEN NEEDED. LET THEM MANAGE THEIR BUILDINGS
