“The standard of presentation of residential areas was generally good during our visit. We loved the traditional streetscapes which could be seen on Ninety Eight Street and Mardyke Street in the town centre and we were very impressed by the standard of maintenance of the neat and orderly terraced dwellings. Home Rule Terrace is also very nicely maintained with all houses appearing freshly painted. We were delighted to read that the residents in a number of residential areas around the town are proactive in maintaining their estates. We are pleased to report that the standard of presentation in these areas was particularly good. The Mills looked exceptionally well with its modern houses, gardens and amenity areas that looked smart and well kept. The Hawthorns nearby could be improved by ensuring that the entrance landscaping is regularly maintained. Gorthnaclohy Heights looked well with its trimmed grass areas and young trees and we enjoyed seeing the mature residential area of Pound Hill with its neat houses and attractive green areas. The Moorings and Cois Caol also looked very well.”
