They do respond but don't follow the problems through, poor planning and no feedback as to when your problems will be sorted out. Perhaps an automated IT system would help.

Look at you parkings in any new development

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

Excellent location. So convenient for access on foot to local shops on the high street including M&S food, supermarkets, butcher, fishmonger, bakery, handyman’s, furniture stores and post office. Plenty of hairdressers, barbers, dentists and Health Centre in this village. Large area for football, cricket green and rugby club with golf on outskirts of village. Transport by bus to local villages plus Guildford and Horsham where train services are available. Parking in village is adequate but restrictions exist on the development. Parking for at least 2 cars on drive and small designated parking areas for visitors. Parking is not allowed on the development roads which are narrow to slow down traffic. Bin collections are on specified days and to date no problems with collections. In fact recycling collection has been outstanding considering the amount of boxes resulting from all the new arrivals on this development. No traffic noise since it is mainly residential. Lovely residents throughout who keep in touch with Leighwood Fields development app.

How friendly all the locals and neighbours would be and how convenient the shops.
