[Margaret Pilkington]

People choose the location of their homes for very many reasons......access to public transport, jobs, schools, churches, shops, leisure faclities etc.....neighbourhoods all have reputations....and there are some places where the houses are cheap because the location leaves something to be desired.
I have lived in the same house for 40 years....so i know most of the people in the local community....we have a good neighbourhood network.
We watch out for one another....and help each other where possible.
So although I don't live close to my family, our little community is a bit like family.
