Wigston Meadow, LE18

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

Not many local provisions are walkable and there are no shops libraries etc in the development. Luckily the location is generally good as we are near a town centre

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

General poor quality of new build standards - seems to be a general issue with new builds

What is the best feature of your home:

Three floors makes use of space, decent sized garden

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

Parking on the estate is often crowded as single width driveways mean lots of people park on the street. There are lots of supermarkets in an easy drive’s reach. A smaller walkable local shop would be beneficial. There’s lovely countryside nearby but due to a lack of footpaths they are hard to access without a car.

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

As frustrating as it can be to pay over standard price for some add ons, do it. It’s a lot harder to add them in after. Also, research land gradient. Our garden is a lot more sloped than expected and not very safe for our children.

What is the best feature of your home:

Energy efficient and functional. You have peace of mind

Really nice area to live, very close the wigston town which gives you great access to a number of shops. Traffic piles up a fair bit near the butchers but nothing to bad

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

Having the parking on the side of the house parking the cars behind each other. If you have more than one car it’s a nightmare, wish I chose one of the houses with the parking on the front with 2 next to each other

What is the best feature of your home:

I love the front room and the big window letting in lots of light

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

1. The main roads entering meadows are bad enough to damage your suspension 2. The security where people enter on foot near the adver poles you could of put a gate for better security and only one entrance 3. Residents parking is shocking, occupying entire footpaths and blocking corners so you can't turn to get out. The site should ask residents to be more considerate especially to those on foot or with prams. Residents driving at ridiculous speeds at site entrance near salea office, cutting off incoming traffic. Should put middle verges or separate lanes so people are forced to turn correctly. Also speed warnings around the site.

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

My house would be next to do much foot traffic. The site main entrance roads wouldn't be finished properly

What is the best feature of your home:

Erm, room sizes are good. South facing garden Wide stairs

Actual location for amenities isn’t great as it’s a new development on the outskirts of existing town. However 20 mins walk your in the heart of wigston, also good connection to bus routes.
