Gardens

You have a responsibility to keep your garden clean and tidy. Grassed areas should be cut regularly and trees and hedges should not be obstruct public footpaths or interfere with a neighbour’s property. We understand that some of our tenants may have physical difficulty maintaining their garden to an acceptable level. We operate a Garden Maintenance Scheme for elderly and disabled tenants who have difficulty with their gardens and whose friends, neighbours or family cannot help them.

We also run a ''Garden Tool Loan Scheme'', you can download the application form here

Grounds Maintenance

To help maintain the overall appearance of the area in which you live, we are responsible for regularly mowing communal grassed areas. We also ensure communal hedges and shrub beds neat and tidy.  Please let us know if there are any problems or if you wish to be involved in monitoring the standards of work

Environmental Improvements

Each year we carry out Environmental Improvements to the areas where you live.  We concentrate on improving the communal areas of Neighbourhoods, examples of Environmental Improvements include:

• Landscaping/Flower beds
• Provision of parking bays
• Enclosing communal areas
• Re-designing/ repairing paths and communal walkways
• Benches and seating
• Play facilities

All suggestions for Environmental Improvements come from issues raised by people living in our Neighbourhoods.  We would welcome suggestions from you on ways we can improve the area around where you live.  If you have any suggestions please contact your Neighbourhood Co-ordinator or Neighbourhood Caretaker.
