De Mare
De Mare is a neighbourhood where residents have mixed feelings. One resident, who has lived there for 43 years, says the area has changed: "It used to be a cosy, friendly neighbourhood. Now you could lie dead in your house and no one would notice." Another echoes that sentiment, describing the neighbourhood as having "scandalously deteriorated" over four decades. Yet a third resident offers a more balanced view: "Pleasant neighbourhood to live in, often rubbish is dumped, people think that bulky waste is collected every day. Furthermore, occasionally some loitering youths by the bridges but I haven't been bothered by that yet. Schools within walking distance, and plenty of green spaces." Based on three reviews, the average score is 6.88. The neighbourhood has around 2,480 residents, with a high share of single-person households.
