Neighbourhood Visits
Between March and October we organise a programme of visits to our neighbourhoods to make sure they are clean and tidy and free from any health & safety risks.
The visits will look at things such as:
- Potential health and safety issues in our neighbourhoods
- Repairs in communal areas and to individual property exteriors
- Abandoned or illegally parked vehicles
- Graffiti, vandalism, litter, inappropriate use of bin stores and fly-tipping
- The quality of grounds maintenance, cleaning, and other estate services
- Any potential tenancy breaches, e.g. unmaintained gardens
Why not Join us?
Estate visits will recommence in March 2025.
