De Mare
De Mare is a neighbourhood with a mixed reputation, based on three reviews. One resident, who has lived there for 43 years, says it used to be a cosy, friendly neighbourhood but now feels distant: "Here it's every man for himself and God for us all." Another notes it has "scandalously deteriorated" over four decades. But a third is more positive: "Pleasant neighbourhood to live in," mentioning schools within walking distance and plenty of green spaces, though rubbish is sometimes dumped and there are occasionally loitering youths by the bridges. The area has a high share of single-person households, and a large proportion of residents are 65 or older.
