Our Plan for Fishwick

A bit about Fishwick

Fishwick sits on the edge of Fishwick Bottoms and is close to the Guild Wheel, a popular walking and cycling route. It is a great area for those who enjoy outdoor spaces. We manage approximately 543 homes in Fishwick.

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

Friendly Community

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

"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".

Tenants Transform Gardens to Help Rebuild Communities in Fishwick and St Matthews

At Community Gateway, we work closely with local organisations through the Prosper Partnership, launched by Lancashire Police to reduce anti-social behaviour (ASB) in our local areas.

Children looking at where to plant the trees

Local Youth Club Influences Farringdon Park Tree Planting

Last year, our GreenCare Team had a surplus supply of sapling trees that were perfect for brightening up our local communities. Seeing an opportunity to work with younger tenants and residents to create greener spaces, our Engagement Team contacted Farringdon Park Youth Club.

Community Clean Up

Tenants told us littering and fly tipping are an issue in the area. We will run a community clean up day to improve the area and raise awareness of the importance of keeping the community clean.

Community Planting

Tenants told us that they would like us to brighten up the area with more colour. We will look at improving our communal greenspaces and carry out some community planting.

Tackling ASB in Fishwick

Tenants reported drug related anti-social behaviour as an issue in the area. We will work with community partners and agencies to take appropriate action to address this.
