People have provided a snapshot of life in a 'calm' city suburb, home to independent businesses and an award-winning chippy. Located near Sherwood, and north of the Forest Recreation Ground, Carrington has a pharmacy, barber shop, Lidl supermarket, primary school and an array of independent shops.
The shops are a huge convenience for residents, so says 44-year-old bank worker Michael Grey, who has lived in the area for 15 years. “Nothing much happens here, all the shops are handy. I use the Lidl a lot rather than the Co-op and I go into Spuds ‘n’ Stuff for lunch sometimes, they’re nice there with good food too.
“Pancho's chippy has been in the area for years and so has (micropub) Doctor's Orders, there’s just not a lot to say about Carrington it’s hardly ever in the news - which is a good thing and, if you don’t drive, there’s always a bus to get on.”
