Celebrating 20 Years: Cleaning Up St Matthews

Written by Community Gateway | Wednesday 11 November 2026

To celebrate 20 years of Community Gateway, we are giving back to our communities through 20 community projects.

In our latest project, our teams headed to St Matthews to respond to reports of persistent littering and fly-tipping in the area.

Responding to this feedback, we attended an action day around Delaware Street with the police and a local councillor to speak to tenants and residents about how we can work together to keep our communities clean and safe. 

Together, on the day, we collected 10 bags of litter from the neighbourhood's communal areas and removed a van full of fly-tip. We also spoke to tenants about how they find living in the area. 

Our presence in the neighbourhood allowed us to identify areas of the community where improvements were needed and offer tenants the opportunity to raise any concerns to us.

By coming together to improve our communities, we are making our neighbourhoods better places to live and we hope that we can continue to work together to keep these spaces clean for everyone to enjoy.  

If you would like to get involved in any of our community improvement projects and help make your community an even better place to live, please complete the form below and we will be in touch.
