Improving Safety in City Centre

During a community pop-up in the City Centre, tenants raised that anti-social behaviour, particularly linked to drug use in the communal areas behind Egan Street and Agnes Street was a big issue.

A community walkabout confirmed that poor fencing between Ring Way and tenants’ gardens was allowing unauthorised access. In some areas, fencing was missing entirely, making the communal spaces vulnerable to misuse.

We have since worked with our Development and Repairs teams to replace several damaged fence panels and new fencing is being installed to secure the area further.
