Living on Westgate Park

The homes on Westgate Park enjoy the benefit of mains services including water, electricity, gas and telephone. The roads are tar macadam with street lighting that is lit throughout the night. There are car-parking areas around the park while many homes have parking on the plot.

The park is rich in birdlife with Grey Wagtails, Doves, Kingfisher and Mallard ducks seen regularly while being very conveniently located to the facilities of a bustling market town.

The park is for the retired and those approaching retirement and friendly, well-behaved pets are welcome.
