Windermere Avenue is on Within Grove estate. Our family had friends living there in the 70's and it was a nice council estate back then. Unfortunately it has since degenerated and tends to resemble a Middle Eastern war zone now. The area is up for regeneration but there is very little evidence of this happening. It always looks the same to me when I drive past, glass on the roads, stained mattresses and rubbish in the gardens and boarded up properties.

Some of the residents who live there bought their properties and have looked after them, but if you are next door to a family who haven't, then the house is not a good prospect for sale. It is a shame that this once friendly and clean estate has come to this, but it has. My advice would be for you to tell Hyndburn Homes to stop taking the p... and suggest something decent, or to get to one of our many estate agents and have a look at what's going for sale. If you need to rent, look in the Accy Observer.
