Moving In

Moving into a house in a residential area for the first time? There are many ways in which you can make a positive contribution to the neighbourhood.

Be sensitive to levels of noise. Your neighbours may work shifts, may have to get up in the early morning or have young children. Loud music late at night can be very disturbing. Try to keep noise down when coming home late at night.
When you move into an area say hi to the neighbours. It's basic manners and very helpful if your post goes missing!
If you are planning to have a party, let your neighbours know in advance and tell them what time it will end. Perhaps you could invite them too!
If there is only on-street parking, be aware that you have to share the space with others and you may not be able to park outside your house all the time.
Don’t leave rubbish out on the street or in the front garden and don’t leave your dustbin out where it may cause an obstruction.
Use local shops, cafes and takeways – it is your neighbourhood too.
You could also take advantage of opportunities to get involved in the community through voluntary work, for example. Get in contact with Warwick Volunteers to see what projects are going on. Or if you think your club or society could make a difference and start something new get in touch with the sports or societies sabbatical officer who can help you!
