This year we are celebrating Community Gateway’s 20th birthday by giving back to our communities through 20 projects.
Following reports from tenants during a community pop-up in Brookfield, our recent project focused on tackling fly-tipping and dog foul on grassed areas in front of homes on Hawkshead Road.
Tenants shared that the communal area, which is accessible to the public, often attracted anti-social behaviour (ASB), causing tenants to feel unsafe.
Listening to this feedback, we spoke to tenants who agreed that fencing off the area from the public would improve safety and help them feel more secure in their homes and community.
We worked with an external contractor to install a fence fitted with a coded lock so that only residents of the properties backing onto the greenspace have access. This approach also means that any further reports of dog foul in the space will be easier to investigate.
By working with tenants to address these local issues, we were able to create a cleaner, greener, safer space for tenants to enjoy and feel good about.
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.
