Looking back on the views of how people in Nottingham perceive the Meadows to be, I am glad that I decided to stand alone to make my own judgement.

When considering moving I was bombarded with such negativity and certainty of what would happen to me.

Obviously the Meadows has been misrepresented and what I have seen has been very different.

The Meadows has a lot to offer its residents from childcare facilities, numerous education centres to its festivals, local shopping centres and library.

As a single parent bringing up a young child, I have found the Meadows surprisingly quiet and very interesting.

The Bridgeway shopping centre - the heart of the Meadows

I live in a pleasant cul de sac a short walk from town and the embankment. So far I have had a warm welcome in to the Meadows in particular from the One Stop Shop. They are a friendly approachable team who really want to help you either in finding a career or getting practical job advice and childcare.

Moving to the Meadows has definitely been the right move for me, I have found that the facilities that have been available to me have given me direction, focus and the confidence that I need to succeed.

I enjoy living here and being a part of a small community each day as I see the hustle and bustle of traffic and people as they go about their business.

Preconceived notions are contagious especially bad ones. The way I look at it , is that no matter where you go there will always be an area that people have already made judgement on whether they have been to that particular area or not.

Personally I think that the Meadow will prove itself.
