The neighbourhood is quiet and clean, with respectful neighbours and good green spaces. I regularly walk my dog in the local park, which is well maintained.
Our Plan for Ingol
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 Ingol
Ingol is home to the popular Ingol Dip, a large green space with a recently improved play area for families to enjoy. The area also includes the INTACT Centre and Dobcroft Nature Reserve, both well used by the local community. We manage approximately 972 homes in Ingol.
Our community information sheets provide useful details about the area, including schools, GP surgeries, community venues and more. View the Ingol information sheet.
What makes Ingol a great place to live?
The Courtyards is safe and secure, with carers on site 24/7. The staff are friendly, helpful and always approachable. There’s also a wide range of activities on offer, including bingo, cinema sessions, coffee mornings and crafts. Claire’s Kitchen café is fantastic addition to The Courtyards and really brings the community together.
I use the Intact Centre for food support and social events like bingo, as well as local shops, the library, and St Margaret’s Church. I also attend activities at the Tanterton Centre, join the knitting group at Ingol Library and enjoy walks in Haslam Park.

Tackling Dog Fouling on Barry Avenue
During a community pop-up, tenants in Ingol raised concerns about the level of dog fouling along Barry Avenue. Residents told us that there was only one litter bin on the street, making it difficult for everyone to access and dispose of dog waste responsibly.

Planting a Japanese Micro-Wood: A Community Effort in Ingol
In autumn 2024, the Lancashire County Council (LCC) Treescapes Team reached out to us to see if we would be interested in working with them to plant a Japanese Micro-wood. Of course, we said yes and got to work finding the best home for it.

Community Improvement Day: Enhancing Howarth Road Green Space
During September 2024, our Engagement and Communities Officers held a Community Pop Up around the Howarth, Hamer and Worden Road area of Ingol, asking tenants what they think could be done to improve the open green space on Howarth Road.
Upcoming projects to improve your community
Dog Fouling Action Day
We are currently working on installing a second dog foul bin along Barry Avenue and run an action day alongside this, with community partners.
The Courtyards Greenspaces
We will work with tenants at The Courtyards to improve the Greenspaces.
External Improvements
You told us you would like to see the external walls cleaned and improved on Barry Avenue.
Tackling Anti Social Behaviour
At the Shape You Space event, you told us that drug dealing is a problem around the Ingol shops. The garages located on Ventnor Place that have been attracting ASB are planned to be demolished.
We will continue to work with tenants, community partners, the Neighbourhood Policing Team and teams across CGA to reduce the ASB.
