Very good · 2 residents
It's a friendly neighbourhood. The neighbours are nice, we help each other and if something happens, everyone knows about it, so it's a very pleasant neighbourhood except for the children of today who shout and swear and open your parcels. But otherwise it's a nice neighbourhood. But when it comes to rubbish, it's really bad, the council does little to keep the waste tidy. They need to clear the rubbish more often.
