Green Square at Tadpole Garden Village, SN25

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

Local shops are small but convenient, not a huge quantity but you wouldn’t expect that from a small village. Good parks and open spaces. Quiet street with no problems.

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

Repairs are generally quite quick to be carried out. The “home owners” tend to look down on the housing association tenants and it’s quite divided in that aspect.

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

Messing streets and building work left unkept. Muddy roads and noisy road sweep 24/7 which makes it difficult to sleep. Children screaming round the clock at the park, could do with a gate and time it opens and closes. Anti social behaviour and load parties from housing association houses aswell as unkept front of houses. Kids playing in the street and around cars. Unacceptable and feel miss sold on property

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

We have called and chased up emails with very little response

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

Miss sold completely, was not told about he amount of housing association homes - disappointed

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

I live within 30 seconds of sainsburys local, barbers/hairdressers and coffee shop which is very convenient. Bin collections especially recycling are not always collected which means our bin shed often overflows and is filthy - a health hazard. Faulty lights inside bin shed. Not enough parking spaces for all residents. Traffic noise is minimal. Stagecoach bus service is shocking for tadpole. Buses often cancelled or running late. Love tadpoles scenery and the walks.

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

Greensquare have taken months to repair issues that have accrued in my property. GreenSquare do not stick to time frames given for repairs

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

I would of read reviews of landlord greensquareaccord before taking a tenancy with them.

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

Local shops are okay but could do with a post office buses would be better if they came from the other side of the village my street is okay just need people to look before they pull out of the shop car park there is no anti social behaviour in our street

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

Keep an eye on your garden as they can sink due to no topsoil also some properties get given sheds and clothesline where we didn’t

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

Everything is a short distance walk away; Sainsburys, coffee shop, hairdressers/barbers, Postbox, schools and an up going doctors surgery too. The Bin days are done smoothly, I’ve had no issues. Parking can be a bit of an issue sometimes, there should be more spaces for visitors and family. There’s buses regularly from Tadpole to Town etc. There’s also a larger selection of shops and food outlets as near as a 10min drive.

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

Sometimes the appointment scheduling can be lengthy. But apart from that, it’s been great.

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

I wish I’d have known that a park was going to be built outside my house. You’ll need to make sure to check up on the Utility companies so you’re not back charged either.
