Bordesley green is a calm and very diverse local with a great mixture of religion, beliefs and morals integrated. I enjoy the peace and safety that it offers towards the community and the many active centres that are open to the public, such as the Saltely wellbeing centre. However, not many individuals take head on hygiene and health and safety as litter can be found distributed along the main Bordesley green road. Working in Bordesley green is great because it means you are not too far from the main city centre and public transport is frequent. In general, it is a friendly and warm place to .ive with everyone respecting each other's privacy.
