Fort the place of togetherness

Had a great time, met so many people and had many experiences. So many stories to tell and a wonderful neighbourhood to live in if you want a quiet life.

Good during the day, not liveable at night

I've lived here my whole life, it's a good neighbourhood for children, just not safe to be outside alone after dark.

A nice, quiet neighbourhood

It's a nice and quiet neighbourhood where you can just be yourself, everyone does their own thing and leaves each other alone. The people are friendly, but there is a lot of dog poop and fireworks on the fields and playgrounds, but otherwise it's large and partly okay. The houses are old and damp, and many have single glazing. As for facilities, there are poles with dog poop bags and glass/plastic bins, but not much else. The poles with dog bags are stuffed too full, so you can't grab any bags.
