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

The area is fantastic and close to a wide range of amenities that cater to everyone. It is convenient and everything you need is within walking distance, but also has multiple transport links nearby should you need to go further out (train, tram, bus interchange). There is a large amount of parking availability and very minimal noise coming into the flat from traffic, which is impressive considering the flat is next to a main road. There has been no antisocial behaviour and everyone within the complex has been kind and respectful.

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

Building management have been very quick to respond to issues I have raised. Upon moving in, the fridge was not working, so I rang the concierge to request help. They had sent somebody to help immediately, and the issue was fixed within 30 minutes. It is reassuring to know that there is such a reliable team on hand.

It would be nice to know the demographics of people living here to know a bit more about who lives in the development, and who we would be having community events with. (Not sure if this is GDPR compliant though so may not be possible!)
