Heathlands, GU16

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

The development is in a leafy location with plenty of parking. Transport links are poor, the bus service twice hourly, it's runs Monday to Saturday during work hours only. The estate has an issue with barking dogs, in one house the dog barks continuously for sometimes 12 hours a day. Because the walls of the houses are are thin, the barking noises can be extremely loud even with the windows shut. There is also the weekly Sunday morning noises from the firing ranges which can go on all morning. The development is in a quiet area despite the issues.

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

Extremely poorly, it has taken over a year to rectify one issue.

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

There is a gate at the back of the development which leads you to Heatherside for a short cut to the shops.

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

It is not near many shops at all, with very minimal public transport services in the area. Traffic isn’t too bad, but many people park right outside the apartment windows on the ground floor which looks right into multiple apartments bedrooms, this i think was a very poor design. There has been a lot of anti-social behaviour since moving in and police have been around too many times to count. Parking is also not numbered (Rose Court)

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

I would tell a new neighbour that it is a quiet estate most of the time, but to be aware of anti-social behaviour and to be aware that security around the estate is low.

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

It is a lovely leafy area but the public transport links are poor. The parking is great. There is a local shop about 10 minutes away on another estate with pub, fish and chip shop, pharmacy and Indian restaurant.

Lovely area. Good amenities, easy access to travel options.
