4Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The good: there's loads of shops, cafés, restaurants, and places to eat and drink nearby. 10-minute walk to Halifax station is phenomenal. The bad: it can get very rowdy, especially at night. We never realised quite how many clubs there were around here before moving in, and were particularly surprised to find there's a strip club directly opposite the building, which unfortunately seems to attract the wrong sort of behaviour. It's definitely worse during the summer when you want to keep the windows open. To be fair, the building itself is really well soundproofed, so it does a good job of blocking most of the noise. But after chatting with people on the community bulletin board, it's (sadly) reassuring to know we're not making it up. One resident even said they sleep with earplugs in, which is quite sad to hear. It's a shame because, aside from the nightlife, it's a really convenient area to live.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building management have been excellent. They're always quick to respond, and I really appreciate being able to report issues without needing to be at home, especially as we're both often in Manchester for work. Thankfully, we've had very few issues since moving in. A special mention to Sarah, who has been absolutely fantastic throughout. We're genuinely sorry that she and the team have to deal with some of the challenges in the surrounding area, especially when so much care and investment has gone into making this such a lovely place to live.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The main thing we wish we'd known is that parts of the surrounding area can sometimes feel unsafe, particularly along Commercial Street. We've reported concerns to the Council's Community Safety team about groups of people begging, gathering, and occasionally becoming aggressive or fighting amongst themselves. The response we received was disappointing, as we were essentially told that there was little that could be done unless the situation escalated into an immediate emergency. (this was a passing observation). It's important to stress that this isn't a reflection of the building or its management, who have been excellent. However, the behaviour of the local town (people and the type of businesses) in the area can make it feel less welcoming and family friendly than it otherwise could be.

Windows get smashed all the time which is a big negative. We even had to witness this and give a whole police statement. And now recently it’s happened again
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They responded well but I wish that they had told us more about how things were damaged which we could stay vigilant about
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The trolley they have downstairs to assist new people moving in

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Firstly, there have been several instances of parcels being stolen from inside the building. Additionally, I’ve noticed that both the front and back doors are not always securely locked. This not only causes inconvenience but, more importantly, raises serious safety concerns for me, particularly as a female resident. For example, the front door failed to lock properly when exiting recently, and the issue remained unresolved for over a week. This lack of attention to basic security makes it feel as though our rent is being taken without ensuring essential safety measures are in place. Moreover, the rear combination gate has proven to be another security concern. The locking system is poorly designed, as the latch does not close automatically, leaving the gate insecure. This is another example of a design choice that, frankly, seems to disregard the safety of residents. As a woman, I have to consider the possibility of being followed into the building by strangers every time I use the gate, which greatly impacts my sense of security. My personal safety is of utmost importance, and I feel that more attention should be given to this issue. In addition to these concerns, the parking situation remains problematic. Some individuals are using parking spaces without paying, and there have been reports of people parking in disabled spaces without the appropriate permits. The reason this continues is that everyone seems to know the access code, which, given the lack of control, is hardly surprising. It feels incredibly unfair that residents who pay for their parking spaces are facing this issue, while others are parking for free with no consequences. My neighbours have expressed similar frustrations, wondering why they are paying when others are not. As residents who are paying for parking spaces, I would appreciate clarification as to why others are allowed to park for free, particularly in designated disabled spots. It seems that the company has been slow to address these matters, and I would kindly request a prompt resolution to ensure fairness and security for all residents. While I would like to acknowledge that our site manager has been very helpful, it is becoming increasingly apparent that PlaceFirst has been slow to address the concerns outlined above, which has led to growing frustration among residents.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Response to address taken far to long, we are yet to see changes 😕
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
As a woman living here, I can’t help but feel concerned about the lack of security, especially with the antisocial behaviour that often takes place in the town centre most nights people shouting and swearing. It really makes me feel uneasy. With the security measures not being up to standard, it leaves me feeling even more vulnerable. It’s especially disappointing when I think about the high rent we’re paying for this area. I truly expected more consideration for our safety and peace of mind 🙄
Manager's response2Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re really sorry to hear about your experience and fully understand how important safety and security are. We appreciate your concerns regarding the entrance doors. We have been working with our contractor on a more robust, long-term solution, particularly in response to wind-related issues that have previously caused damage. We’ve requested stronger locks for both the front and rear doors and are confident this will provide a much more secure solution. We’ve been advised these works are expected to be completed in this month but we are awaiting an install date and we’ll keep residents updated. We’re also sorry to hear about the parcel theft issues. Parcel lockers and post boxes are in place inside the building, but we’re aware not all delivery companies are using them correctly. We’ve raised this again with Royal Mail and will be installing additional signage, along with guidance to residents on using the lockers and arranging deliveries at more suitable times. While we can’t control how couriers operate, we are taking steps to reduce the risk. We recognise the frustration around parking, particularly in the evenings and at weekends when our RSM isn't on site. We are progressing plans for improved monitoring, including potential ANPR and fob access systems and will share updates as soon as possible. In the short term, the access code will be changed. The pedestrian gate by the bin store should close securely. Our maintenance team are now aware of the issue and will be investigating this next week to ensure it is working correctly. We’re sorry that repairs and response times have not met expectations. As the building is new, some works are still contractor-led, which can impact timelines, but we are actively working with them to resolve issues more quickly. We also want to acknowledge your concerns around safety and how this is affecting your experience. This is something we take very seriously, and we are committed to making improvements so residents feel secure in their homes.If you experience any anti-social behaviour, it’s important that this is reported online to West Yorkshire Police so it can be formally logged and acted upon. We will circulate a link to residents with details on how to do this, and your RSM will also be reaching out to the local PCSO too. Thank you again for your feedback, and we will continue to keep residents updated as these actions progress.
