Nomis Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 Hi, I am thinking of moving and would like some information on Wadsley Park Village. It's a new build on Queenswood Drive, behind Hillsborough Golf Course / Worrall Road. Whats the area like for crime, schools, transport etc. Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Yellowrose Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 Its OK. I drive down that road every day to nursery. I have no idea about public transport but I know there are bus stops on worrall Road and on Middlewood road there is tram and bus. I sometimes see a rural links bus going through that estate. It always seems quiet enough though. The gardens look extremely steep.
Cuey Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 The estate is really good. Crime is minimal and the general atmosphere is good. There is still building work going on which will take a while to finish. The forum mentioned above is a good point of access. Schools are whole other discussion. There are threads on here about the closure of Myers grove. We where in Bradfield area and moved by a councillor for finance reasons. Now myers is closing there is a huge argument about catchments. We SHOULD be in Bradfield which happens to be a good school but th desicion will come down to where the councillors can get the most votes from. Watch this space.
Nomis Posted March 26, 2007 Author Posted March 26, 2007 I had a look on Google Map and noticed that the estate is in close proximity to the Winn Garden Estate which slightly puts me off. Should I be worried about this ? Cheers
Cuey Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 it might be an issue if you lived at the entrance but you'll be at the top of the estate. no where in sheffield is far from council housing.

fox20thc Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 Oi Oi Oi.... stop right now! Winn should not cause you any issues, and there is the beautiful Middlewood Park just next door if you want to walk the dog or have children.

Don't be misled by the title of village given to Wadsley Park. It is just a modern estate with no facilities. The houses are built very close together and it always seems dark on there even on a sunny day. The 'village' name was given by the builders who have just used it as a marketing gimmick to avod it being called Middlewood like the mental hospital was that used to be on there.
Lindseyw Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 I asked a colleague about this a couple of weeks ago & he said that it's a bit 'too' close to Winn Gdns & not so great, he has a lot of friends who moved onto there when it was new & they have all moved since because it's not so great. I did a bit of background work on it & apparently there are lots of cars broken into on there. It put me right off.
