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

The local area is easily accessible with cars. There are local buses as well, as of the national staff shortage it is very unpredictable. The estate has a small retail park next to it, with and Aldi, Costa, Greggs, Subway, Mcdonalds, a nursery and pet shop. Alos there is a Garden Center down the road, and a new Porshe Salon just buliding now. We could do with more useful shops and a walking distanced playground which I believe it is in plans for the near future. I haven't experienced any antisocial behaviour or any negative in that aspect.
