Our Plan for Brookfield

A bit about Brookfield

Brookfield is home to green spaces such as Brookfield Park and Sandybrook Woods, both popular with dog walkers and joggers. The area also features a range of places of worship, helping to create a welcoming and inclusive community. We manage approximately 647 homes in Brookfield.

Our comunity information sheets provide useful details about the area, including schools, GP surgeries, community venues and more. View the Brookfield information sheet

Tackling Dog Foul on Ambleside Road in Brookfield

During conversations with tenants at a community pop-up and Brookfield's Gateway2You session, we became aware of an excessive amount of dog foul on Ambleside Road.

Community Action in Brookfield Addresses Neglected Site

Our Engagement Team carried out a community walkabout with Councillor Naomih McMahon and a local PCSO to identify areas the community would like us to improve.

Tackling Fly-Tipping and Dog Foul in Brookfield

During a community pop up in Brookfield, tenants raised that fly-tipping and dog foul on the grassed areas of Hawkshead Road were a big issue.

Protecting Grass Verges

Tenants told us that grass verges are being damaged by parked and passing cars due to narrow roads, making the area look untidy and creating a safety risk. We will trial grasscrete in one of the worst affected areas to see if it improves the situation, with the option to extend this to other areas in Brookfield if successful.

Reducing fly-tipping in alleys

Three alleys on Gisburn Road have been identified as fly-tipping hotspots. We will look to install gates at the alleys between 10–12 and 34–36 to help prevent misuse.

Tackling ASB at Burnsall Place

Burnsall Place has been identified as a hotspot for drug-related anti-social behaviour. We will work with partners to take appropriate action to address this. Plans include clearing the area, exploring a community garden with SoundSkills and installing fencing to improve security and help discourage anti-social behaviour.
