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

A fantastic new development, with a range of houses. A small village with lots of nice walks, and very close by to Swindon. The houses have plenty of parking and so does the village. Bin collection is very simple, every Monday and usually done very prompt, some residents do leave their bins out for a lengthy time which is quite annoying. Great takeaway options in the village and the pubs food is amazing!!!

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

Yes, so we had a couple of snags nothing major. They solved them all within a week. They also supplied us with more paint in case walls needed touching up.

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

Small things, like what lights will be fitted in what rooms.

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

The paths are very narrow, nice open spaces and landscaping on the border of the development. Difficulties with drainage in the back garden.

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

Yes the garden has had drainage installed which I hope resolves the issue.

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

The houses backing on to my garden look directly in.
