Was as low as 1% availability earlier this year but has eased a lot over the past 3 months.

It's not too bad now.

We have been provided with an apartment on The Esplanade, right next to the hospital, no chance of escape Would love to live around here but think finding an apartment is going to be very difficult so off to Redlynch tomorrow for a look round there!
