You'll be talking about the Manor then Brigette!.

It has a bad reputation and as a lot of the forum members live in their own little cocoons, i wouldn't expect too much in the way of positive feedback.

I personally lived on the Manor for 17 (ish) years without much trouble ;). A long time ago now so i can't comment on life there today :(.

S2 doesn't just cover the manor, London Road is involved too.

But St Aidens Rd is on the Manor ;)

Brigette,
I noticed you enquired about the house on City Rd. I think this approach would serve you best as you get to know the surrounding areas before you buy.

I dont understand, the part im talking about is just off city road.

Is it really that bad because we have to decide but also think of the saftey of our daughter.

S2 covers the wybourn as well, so city road seems the best bet.....

S2 covers Manor Park, Manor, Wybourn, Sky Edge, Norfolk Park, Arbourthorne. I also think (correct me if I'm wrong) it covers Hyde Park, Park hill and parts of Heely.

Ohh yes.....It is a large postal code indeed :).

St Aidans Road is not on the Manor, it's here (http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?cat=h&scale=5000&gride=437054.074978556 &gridn=386290.485052409)

Don't get me wrong cos I was born on the Manor and lived there until 1982, and can honestly say we did not have any problems.

But at the moment can anyone name anywhere in the whole S2 area that can be honestly described as OK.

I stand corrected :( It is indeed on Norfolk Park and what makes it worse is the fact that i live on Norfolk Park and go along St Aidens Rd every day :huh:

I apologise Brigette for leading you to think it was on the Manor :blush:.
