Our Plan for the City Centre
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.
Properties Overview
In the City Centre area, CGA owns approximately 844 properties.
Areas Covered
Adelphi, Mecca Area, Windmill, St Pauls, Pump Street, Hopwood, Maudland Bank, Marsh Lane and Plungington.
Neighbourhood Summary
- Top Anti-Social Behaviour issues: Neighbourhood disputes, domestic violence/abuse and harassment
- Community priorities: Fly tipping and dog fouling
What's in scope
- Shared spaces (greens, paths, lighting seating)
- Community safety and comfort (sightlines, fly-tipping, minor repairs)
- Greener bits (planting, planters, biodiversity)
- Community feel (noticeboards, meet-up spots, small projects)
What's not (being honest)
- Personal repairs inside your home
- Big infrastructure outside our control (e.g. public roads, buses)
- Anything unsafe or unlawful
What we'll do next
- We will publish what we heard for each area, what we can do now, what needs planning or partners, and when things will happen
What makes the City Centre a great place to live?
Location
We live in a good location, central to town, the market and transport links. Everything you need is close by.
Good neighbours
Community Groups
The Harris, Foxton Centre and Catherine Beckett Centre provide community groups and classes.
You said we should focus on?
Dog Foul
Dog foul is present where owners refuse to pick up after their pets.
Anti Social Behaviour
Drug dealing is a problem throughout the night with people often congregating in the area.
Fly Tipping
Fly tipping and littering is an issue from people coming into the area and abandoning large objects.
Improve Communal Area
Improve communal greenspaces to make them more accessible.
