Residents deeply value the town’s strong community spirit, rich history and heritage, beautiful coastline, and green spaces. Positive feedback also highlights the library, good transport links, and vibrant local events and festivals. However, concerns include litter and infrequent bin emptying, limited transport options, particularly bus services and late-night trains, and an outdated leisure centre.
