Our Plan for Ashton

Ashton including Lea, Larches, Savick and Swansea Street

Our community plans show how we will work with you to improve the places you live. Each plan is shaped by what matters most to you and reflects the priorities of your neighbourhood.

These plans are based on feedback from Shape Your Space events, pop-ups, surveys, day-to-day conversations, as well as what we see when we are out and about in your area.

A bit about Ashton

Ashton is home to the historic Preston Docks, as well as the popular Ashton Park. The area has a strong sense of community and offers a mix of green space and local amenities. We manage approximately 1,137 homes in Ashton.

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

What makes Ashton a great place to live?

"The general area, the people, St Bernards and the park. There are lot's of facilities and shops and I like that CGA has a strong presence in the area."

"Everyone is friendly, approachable and helpful and I enjoy using the local gym."

"Great community spirit and great local shopkeepers. They are always willing to help anybody. St Bernard's Hub and Oaktree Court are great community assets. They bring lots of people together for various events and days."

"The Hub at St Bernard's helps with isolation and meeting new friends with the activities they put on." Having a new Warden at Baytree Farm has been great as they have started to reinstate activities." 

What we have delivered in Ashton so far

Upcoming projects to improve your community

Installing gates to the communal area at Newark Place

Following feedback at our Summer Roadshow, we willl be installing gates to the communal greenspace to reduce open access to the rear of the bungalows and help tenants feel safer.

Dog fouling action and community clean-ups

Following feedback at the Shape Your Space event, we will be running another Dog Fouling Action Day, focusing on Norbreck Drive and the surrounding Larches area. We have been working with a local primary school to raise awareness of the issues of littering and dog foul and plan to continue this project. We are looking to install a new dog foul bin.

You also told us a community tidy-up is needed around the shops and Boxing Club on Elswick Road. We will work with the local community to organise community clean-up days.

Action Day on Elswick Road

Following feedback at the Shape Your Space event, we will work with the Neighbourhood Policing Team, local groups, tenants and residents to run an Action Day focused on tackling e-bike nuisance in the area.

 
 
Installing signage at Parkfield garages

Following your feedback, we will be installing signage to prevent parking in front of CGA-owned garages and improve access for tenants who lease them.
