According to Aviva, four in five people recognise local businesses as important to their communities.

Now settling into life at L&Q at Marleigh, recent purchaser Corrina Taylor reflects on the draws of the development: “You’ve kind of got everything you need here, really, whether you have kids or you don’t. There’s an Italian deli onsite that’s brilliant – they know us by name now, which is so nice. I go there for a coffee pretty much every day!”

 

“My son goes to the nursery here, which is so convenient. It’s literally around the corner. There’s a Co-op and plenty of green space close by. We go on lovely little walks in a wooded area near us. Overall, there’s a sense of community here. Everyone will say hello to you, and you feel like you’re in a safe place. I think that’s important for me being a new mum – I want to feel safe. It’s very easy to live here.”
