nice neighbourhood, but public transport could be better

too few bus connections cannot always plan the call bus the early and late times are also inconvenient long walk to the stop facilities: an extra restaurant would be nice and a butcher

Nice neighbourhood

It's a fairly quiet neighbourhood close to the centre, so you can easily cycle to the shops within 5 minutes. Nice atmosphere, 5 minutes' walk to a small park and no trouble from other people.
