I have lived in mclaren flat all of my years. which is quite a long time. I have seen many changes to the town and have seen people come and go.
I am probably bias when I say that there is no where better to live but than I have no where else to compare.
I will agree with ug70 that the once peaceful hamlet no longer exists. it is always going to be the way of progress unfortunately.
I have noticed a lot more on the way of vandals and young people walking the street at nights and dont feel safe as i once did. its a way of life now tho.
I dont know if all these new houses going up are good or bad. but now when i walk in to the flat store i dont know anyone. it used to be i knew weveryone.
i think it is a bit sad that the new folk feel that us oldies have to move somewhere else to have our peace. weve been here all our life and should not have to move. i think too many people these days are lacking in common decency and respect for other peoples peace.
It is nice to see so many little children playing at the school. we were at one time worried the school may need to close.
anyway that is my little input. We call mclaren flat home. and we hope it will stay small and not get to big like mclaren vale.
