Fishwick Communities

Properties Overview

In the Fishwick area, CGA owns approximately 543 properties.

Areas in the LCA

Farringdon, Thirlmere, Russell Avenue, Callon, William Henry Street

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'll publish what we heard for each area, what we can do now, what needs planning or partners, and when things will happen

 

What makes Fishwick a great place to live?

Friendly Community

"The neighbours are friendly and people look out for each other".

Local Support

"Preston Community Hub is great, they provide lots of support for local people".

Green Space

"Waverley Park and the small park on Mercer Street provide nice green spaces in the area. There is also the Guild Wheel on your doorstep". 

Public Transport

"There are good bus links in the area making it easy to get around without a car".

What should we focus on?

Motorbike Nuisance

Motorbike nuisance is a problem in the area, and can cause residents to feel intimidated.

Dog Foul

Dog fouling is a problem in the area where owners refuse to pick up after their pets.

Litter and Fly-Tipping

Fly-tipping and litter is a problem in the area.

Anti-Social Behaviour

Drug dealing and use is a problem in the area. This can attract noise nuisance too.

Communal Areas

Planting in the communal areas would be a great way to brighten spaces and add colour.
