Upholland Gardens, WN8

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

The local shops and the cafe in the village is great. Bars are more drinking man's pubs not coming across as family friendly. Transport is poor in this semi rural location trains into Manchester are few and far between. The street is quiet at the weekend as I live on a development site construction work is ongoing.

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

There are two weeks in which to raise issues that the contractors on site can deal with within hours. Then after that it is the after sales, this is a much longer process and needs reviewing.

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

Narroness of the top of the street where we live. Also visitor parking there wasn't a mention in the plans.

Great little village, with all the needed amenities. But not over crowded and remains to feel like a countryside village. Very quaint.
