Safe, family-friendly area with lots of green space, community feel and close to the metrobus and M32 for quick journeys into Bristol.

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

Because the development is ongoing, fine red dust settles on windowsills etc. It's not terrible, but is a little annoying.

Please share one thing (or more) which you would change about your development:

It would be great to be a bit closer to some shops.

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

Lovely area, quiet, very family friendly also great for being near to university and local hospital. Great community feel.

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

Would have liked to have known I would be next to large empty unsecured land for a long period of time, with low security measures also it’s not particularly aesthetically pleasing either. However overall I’m really happy in my home.

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

I like the walks and the surrounding area. The only downside is no shop in the area but this may change! More building to happen.

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

Council tax and bills may take a while. This was only because im so new to this.

What is the best feature of your home:

The space that the flat has, given that it is only a 1 bed.

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

Pros: Great location, friendly sense of community, lovely village, Cons: Not enough amenities shops/pubs etc..

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

When roads would be surfaced and that there would be double yellow lines on the road (where I don't really see the need for them).

Please share one thing (or more) which you would change about your development:

Always nice to have something a bit bigger but overall i'm very happy.

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

We are surrounded by lots of lovely, green space, both in walking distance and short drive. The area is close to the motorway and close to the centre of Bristol which makes commuting quick and accessible. The only real negative of the area is a lack of local shops or cafes/restaurants that are in walking distance however there are some plenty of shops and restaurants in surrounding localities.

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

A better understanding of the continued building of the development. Although the expansion of the development has little impact on our day to day lives the continuous changing of road closures and access to surrounding parks can be frustrating.

Please share one thing (or more) which you would change about your development:

Improved soundproofing of adjoining houses as we are semi detached and often can hear our neighbours, who are not particularly loud.
