jan2 Â Â 10 #1 Posted November 19, 2013 Can anyone tell me what it is like living in Stradbroke now- any problem areas, troublespots etc? I have seen previous thread about problems with drunken gangs but is it a regular problem? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Anna B Â Â 1,414 #2 Posted November 19, 2013 An elderly relative of mine has lived in Stradbroke for 50+ years, and he's very comfortable there. He has nice neighbours, and hasn't had any trouble. The houses and gardens are neat and well kept. Â There might be a spot of bother with exhuberant young people gathering around the shops, and on their way home from Secondary School, but I think that's probably true of most areas.

alchresearch   214 #3 Posted November 19, 2013 Ditto what Anna said. Haven't been for a year or so but the top end of the Ravenscroft area was very nice and quiet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

jan2 Â Â 10 #6 Posted November 20, 2013 Thanks for that information. I am specifically looking at Smelterwood Road - is that near the shops? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
alchresearch   214 #7 Posted November 20, 2013 Yes, it runs from the shops downhill to the roundabout, then carries on beyond. That bit is nicer / quieter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
