Green Park Village, RG2

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

Moved in approx 2 years ago and was sold the house on the promise of a children's playground, Community Hall and a shop/ coffee shop. Still waiting on all, except for what is classed as a kids playground. Even though the child unfriendly place doesn't really attract many children for obvious reasons. Bleak atmosphere with no sun shade in the summer. Over heated flooring that kids shoes get stuck to and a pretty confused area for mixed age ranges. Not recommended And where are the colours that kids enjoy and want to play on? Black is not that... Not what I expected albeit Covid didn't help things move along. They are still building lots of property and we are still waiting on the Green Park Station too... Otherwise it would have been a good place to stay. Still disappointed and we are finding out new things as time progresses. Fingers crossed it all comes together soon because it would be a dream to live in if it did. But if it didn't it would just end up as rented village with no real emphasis of community or upkeep.

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

Not regarding the community Hall etc Playground- the back tarred floor did stain and stick to our children's shoes...so they added another later of gloss in the hope this would work for next summer.but without any appropriate shade I still think the issue will be there. Also the playground has been poorly designed. I have never seen a black playground without children friendly colours etc

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

Honestly Community Hall Coffee shop Local retail shop Decent playgrounds for children A community as it's quite isolated Proper transport routes Inc train station..which the developer says is out of their control apparently...but there are further delays because of Berkeley

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

I love the bus service, and how close it is to get to the station. New Green park village station is due to open very soon too! Which will help with the London commute. Bins can sometimes be an issue, as they only pick up the bins in Reading every 2 weeks (Once a week is normal bin, and the other week is recycling).

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

Yes, always!! They have always responded very quickly, and are always able to be accessed via whats app or the Facebook page.

Aftercare was good but I wasn't told that they would only fix settling issues once which was frustrating.

Very much worth joining the WhatsApp or Facebook groups as there is a very supportive community there.
