My Community by: Gabriel

My area is a calm place and it is playful place. People in my area are friendly, but there are gangs, loud music and dirty blocks. There are lots of fast food shops like, McDonald’s, Burger king and KFC. There are loads of corner shop shops like Sainsbury and Tesco. The things I normally do in my area is go to the football cage or on a sunny day I chill in the park. My area has changed by closing down shops and bringing in estate agents and knocking buildings down and rebuilding it and bringing posh people in and moving people out.

They are regenerating and when they regenerate the cultures change and I am used to the culture  that was before the posh people came, it was not normal for me. They moved loads of people out and the area just changed, it went quiet and silent and boring.

One of the area I was in was Clapham Common. I lived in a small flat in Clapham it was on top of a shop a 3 bedroom flat, but the toilet and the living room was small. It was safe in Clapham no bad boys it was a quiet area, but there was no parks around me I had to take bus to go to park. We all got tired and wanted to live in a bigger house so we moved to Gipsy Hill/West Norwood/Crystal Palace…………………….

Last but not least Crystal Palace that’s where I am currently living now. My family was getting tired living in small flats and there was 4 people in my family 1 coming soon. So we went to move to gipsy hill it was a big House with 5 bedroom and a long garden and the bedrooms was nice and big. The community there is friendly a long road so it’s so many people to know, when I first moved everybody wanted to know my family and that’s when I knew the area was friendly and the area was big it had so many parks and cages I always go to the cage near my house. My area has got lots of estate agents is got like 4 different ones. My area is quiet no noise no bad people there.

Out of all the area and houses I’ve been to this has been the best one because the first one had so many gangs just in one community and had dirty blocks and the parks and cages are always violated, the second one was a small place on top of a shop and had no fun things to go, no parks I had to bus. But the one I live in now is just the one it’s a silent place and has no gangs, all the area I’ve been to has been all regenerated.
