The area of the site location is good aswell as beautiful views at the back of the site. I am able to walk to the local school so less driving. I am based at a part of the road that is a dead end so there for I don't get as much traffic thankfully. A play park closer on the site for the children would be much safer than kids playing near roads/building site, or having to walk so far to play in a park. There has been problems regarding bin collection due to the only site access having the roads built. There is a carpark/parking space for most houses but small for some houses so cars have to park on road. Local shops we have co-op which I have used which is fine. I haven't been able to use the public transport as of yet due to my only car use is to work in Bury st edmunds however I work unsociable hours.

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

We have to report our "snags" or any issues threw clarion so unsure if our issues have even been raised with building management but at this current time nothing has been addressed.

Tips to new neighbours would be: don't listen to everything negative you hear as people literally complain about everything, walk around look at the area get a feel for the site as a whole. If you have children then be prepared to walk far for a play park.

We are leaving here about 7 months now and we love to be here all my family are very happy. We not really have a complaint to be honest but sometimes I can see some car speed up on the street and I can see lots of cars on the street ( not in their parking spaces) but overall everything's going very well for me and my family.

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

Yes we did have raised few issues about house but they are responded quickly and solved the issue

My personal wish is need more shops and small business ( such a restaurant take away)

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

Great for walking to school, the train station is really handy but the trains don't run very late. Being close to the A14 and a quick route to Norwich is really handy. Cycling at Thetford isn't too far away. Local coop is ok if desperate, range of supermarket options within 10miles. No fast food delivery available at all. Bin collections have been sporadic, the same goes for post, we have received first class post that has taken a month to arrive.

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

One, I've given up on the others and sorted myself

Things might not be as you expect, pipes in odd places, switches missing switches. Ask before you do anything

Fantastic big village with beautiful country walks Everything you need, easy access to A14. Good commute (train too) to Cambridge. Parking near house a bit tight for a bigger car, but we knew that before we bought it. One down side for us is we can hear traffic from A14 at night. But we moved here from rural area. If you are coming from a town, don’t think it would cause any problems. We’ll get used to it ?

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

Reported the leak in gutters. Waiting for repairs. No complaints, just straight promise to fix that.

We can’t hear our neighbours! We were a bit worried, especially after so many horrible stories about new builds. But no, nothing! We’ll pleased.
