In residents' words
Feedback points to strong cleanliness and a green, walkable estate. A handful of reviews raise slow follow-up on reported faults and bin centre odour during hot weather. On balance, residents feel the estate is well cared for.

Void deck is always spotless and the lifts are reliable — when ours broke down it was running again within two days.
