Sawmill Court, M4

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

Location is perfect, relatively quiet and well kept area only a short walk from the centre. Lovely to walk along the canal in the mornings or on a lunch break. Co-op shop next door is very convenient, Aldi is less than 10 minute walk. Windows are really effective at blocking noise of cars over the cobbles.

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

Haven’t met the landlord! But my experience has been that I reported a broken tap handle and loose toilet seat well over a month ago and haven’t heard anything. When jobs are done they do seem to be done well though.

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

The area has a range of trendy shops, diverse restaurants, and lively bars. Open spaces like Cutting Room Square offer community events. Transport links are convenient, with tram stops and bus routes. Parking availability in Ancoats is often challenging due to high demand and limited spaces and noise levels may vary on specific streets. Bin collections are typically well-managed, but like any urban area, occasional anti-social behavior may occur. It's advised to explore the neighborhood and consider individual street dynamics.
