I know how you feel Deb.  Even though our road runs between two major highways it was like living in the country. Our rates when we first moved here were even classed as rural.

Now a lot of the land is being taken up and it's just starting to look like any other urban walled development.  It seems they are not interested in keeping that country feel.  I have heard some land will be reclaimed to widen the road and they are now ripping all the verges up to lay the mains sewerage.  Can't wait to get out of here now.
