Cosy and few problems, I've lived here since 1988 and don't want to leave. There is a neighbourhood association with all sorts of activities. I recently became a widow, but my friendly and good neighbours are a great support. If there's something I can't do, there's always someone willing to help. Only the shopping centre could do with some expansion. There's also a back neighbour who puts out the bins for our block every week and puts them back after they've been emptied. I can only say that I live here very pleasantly and hopefully for a long time to come.
