ChickenLittle

As good as it can be given the population demographics. Sterile community in the extreme. Not a single corner shop. Over-planned perhaps, streets too wide and not very pedestrian friendly. Roads are like highways and used accordingly. Could be so much better with just a little effort; give it another 10 years. Better would be to get another 5000 people from oversees - anywhere - with a bit of "character".

Needs shopping strip like Rockeby Road with small shops, cafes and a corner bar. And above all needs a train station ASAP. And PLEASE - with Cream and Sugar on top - can we open up the nice gravel track along the rail line so we can walk/cycle all the way to the station both North and South?!

Probably biggest issue with estate is that it covers a very large area with houses spread out a lot - instead of developing one section at a time and expanding it appears that it started big and now it needs to infill - big time.

New entrance road and more policing local streest - any policing - would / should help. Also, everyone seems to park on footpath - too scared to park in street? So pedestrians have to walk on road! Go figure out the logic in that one if you can!
