Auto-translated to English by AIWe have a very friendly social neighbourhood! Everyone is there for each other! We are the old people, my husband is quite disabled, but we only have to ask and everyone helps us! We are very happy with our little neighbourhood!
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a small but cosy and close-knit community. The area is also clean and there's little trouble with pests. If I could change something, it would be that more facilities are added or that more is done to make sports clubs more well-known and appealing to young people.
