CONS

- Has a bad name. But honestly it has not lived up to it in the time we've been here.

- I've heard someone yelling & swearing at around 11am X twice in the 7 months we've been here.

- Bad traffic/Parking situation on Church Rd. Not enough adequate parking for apartment blocks and council should really address this.

- a few weirdos walking around late at night. I wouldn't leave my car out on the road with valuables in it. That said none of my neighbours that do have had any problems.

- a few properties looking pretty shabby but they are the minority

- a few too many apartments. Any more and noise, parking will become and increased issue. Council really need to becareful of this.

- The playground at O'Callaghan Park needs to be improved & repaired. It gets a lot of use.

- Some noise at nights from people listening to their TVs too loudly or talking loudly.
