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

overall it's a good development, everything is new so it looks and feels good I didn't feel anything bad about the safety, But without proper local shops it's hard to survive, The local GYM which is very basic should come soon, there is a regular release of toxic industrial gas which often interacts with you due to nearby industry and waste management/treatment plants this should be stopped immediately, as it impacts your health sometimes it's noisy because of industrial plants, heavily lacking the facilities, peak hours traffic is bad due to schools as well

The range and quality of establishments for all your shopping needs, vary from a well maintained retail park to a larger shopping centre in the midst of solihull. A selection of restaurants & bars are available for all those late night ventures and for those keepsake days out with the family, there are a large number of open spaces available for all to enjoy. The convenience and availability of transport links Shirley to all surrounding areas, these include Solihull, Birmingham, Redditch and even Stratford Upon Avon. For the street that we have chosen to live on, it is a perfect starter for any family wanting to bring their family up on. There is minimal disturbance except for the odd occasion when people decide to celebrate good times. There is ample parking if for say you keep your car ownership to a minimal, and in-regards to bin collections, these have always been un-disturbed even throughout any local strikes. All-in-all an above average standard site.
