I heard TW are not building anymore - my partner knows someone who works for them. After completion of existing on going builds that is it for them. Their current site office is being prepared to be levelled and a house built in it's place and their show homes are being prepped for people to move in.

Hi Linds and Matt
I see you have made a remark about having trouble with a neighbour/s
You have failed to mention what did occur on the occasion in question
As I understand it (having seen the video evidence and photos) a resident was parked near the end of your drive leaving plenty of room for you to get your car on your drive (the photos clearly show this) you then banged on the said persons door scaring her two children and proceeded to threaten and intimidate the lady who said she was about to move her car but you just threatened to damage it (which is on video) also you then went on to block her car in so she struggled to move it anyway. If you are going to tell a story you should give people all the facts. Just because people are in social housing does not mean they are a lower class of people or should be discriminated against.

I completely agree with anonymous's above post. I have been scanning through the thread re: Harron and their proposed next phase/s and find the comments regarding "affordable housing" made by certain individuals ridiculous. Yes, "affordable housing" as with any housing type can attract individuals that may not necessarily be your first choice in neighbour however I have been wanting to air this view for a while now as I have often browsed on the forum and "read and run" as it were when such topics have been discussed. We have lived on the estate now since 2013, being some of the first residents to move in and we find an air of snobbery which is completely unfounded from many individuals. My family and I live in one of the "affordable housing" properties. I grew up in an affluent area of Cheshire living in a home with my parents which has recently sold for £600,000. I am educated to degree level and am a hard working professional. Myself and my partner spent our twenties studying and enjoying life which in turn meant that no,we didn't have a huge deposit to lay down on our first home hence the choice of "affordable housing". We have no regrets with this choice as we enjoyed life through our twenties (not mortgaged up to the hilt) and are educated, professional individuals. There are individuals on this estate who are quite clearly what I would describe as being Nouveau Riche (new money) as evident in their attitudes reflected on here and in their spelling and embarrassing grammatical errors. Remember you lovely people that live in your "non-affordable homes" - you are living in Rotherham in a concrete jungle, in an oversized sardine can. I am only glad that this is a starter home for us and as we strive to continue to work harder in our professional careers we will be moving to an area where people are educated and not of a small-minded way of thinking (and also be able to go out into our back garden without being overlooked by 13 other homes).

Thankyou waverley2013
I myself have held back on a few occasions having read comments about social housing.
The complaints they have made are very petty and childish ...rubbish in their garden on a very windy day (several times) have been blamed on this resident. The resident having to put up with rubbish on her garden also (but blames no one) Her child playing with the neighbours children in their garden in the summer holidays (not knowing he works night) having said this the resident would have accommodated to his needs if she knew but no he had to pick the phone up and put complaints in instead of doing what any normal neighbour would do and explain his situation CALMLY in order to reach a compromise. The said resident also works fulltime and probably pays more rent than he does a mortgage RANT OVER

Just had a better look at the plans. People moan about Harron (and yes, they have a reason to) but they can design houses and plots far better than the other two. This phase is quite spacious, with a decent amount of green space and big gardens. It's Barratt that are squeezing them in like sardines on the new phases. Oh and kudos to them for sending EVERYONE details of the plans, not just the people who it directly affects. They didn't have to do that. I do agree they look better than the other builders on site but I think 168 threads in the Harron section against 24 for TW & 7 for Barratt speaks volumes regards to their quality, aftercare and customer service. Youre right, they didn't have to send out plans to everyone, they also didn't have to build many homes with numerous faults so they gain no Kudos from me for this small gesture.

We knew full well that we would be next to affordable homes when we bought our home and did so with an open mind. My comment was just regarding the experiences I've had over the past 11 months.

Hear hear to this. Some people on this estate seem to think they're living in Beverly Hills.

I am so glad that others agree ..... As quite rightly said, the perspectives and comments demonstrated by some individual's living on Waverley are just completely unfounded and the snobbery of some is just hilarious. Yes people this is Catcliffe, Rotherham - not Beverley Hills!! ; ) Reality check severely needed by some!!

Yes there are two sides to every story Linds I agree BUT with photo and video evidence theres just the ONE side
Forgot to mention her 4 flat tyres she experienced following the threat to damage her car by your husband Oh and the black cat riddled in fleas that keeps shitting at her front door and attacking her rabbit (still trying to find the owner as it doesnt look like its looked after) A few of us are trying to get her to sign upto here but in fear of you puttting more false complaints in about her she won't

Gosh... so much angst. Whatever happened to loving thy neighbour As for the Catcliffe comment... I am pretty sure the sign says Waverley

The full address we were provided with on moving in 3 years ago was; 'Waverley, Catcliffe'. As stated in my initial post on this subject, I have in the past just scanned through the forum without posting or making comment however it does irritate me somewhat the level of snobbery displayed by some (not necessarily within this thread) but in general, towards "affordable housing" residents. May I also add that affordable housing by definition is not "social housing" and we do pay a mortgage as well as other individuals living on Waverley.
