We strive to provide aspirational homes and inspirational places where people live and work. We're not just focused on the homes we provide. We care about you, your neighbours and your communities.

In neighbourhoods where we have a significant amount of housing stock we use a neighbourhood planning approach.  This helps us to manage the areas better and actively work with local residents and groups in the community, together, to make a successful place.  Currently we use this approach in 6 areas.

Our commitment

We're committed to creating neighbourhoods where people choose and want to live. Our neighbourhoods team work closely with local groups and organisations to make this happen.

Recently we've:

• Increased opportunities for children and young people to participate in local activities
• Developed community spaces
• Helped vulnerable tenants learn new skills and how to manage their homes better
• Supported people to move into work or training.

We know this can make a positive difference to people's lives.

Your commitment

You've agreed to play your part by cleaning common areas, keeping gardens tidy and dealing with your rubbish properly.

We regularly visit our neighbourhoods. We deal quickly with problems such as badly kept gardens, dumped rubbish, vandalism and general disrepair.

We sometimes provide a stair cleaning or landscape maintenance service. If there are any problems with these services or in general, let your housing officer know.
