Neighbourhood Inspections

We have developed two different types of inspections to communal areas carried out by the housing team:

Block Inspections – these are technical inspections carried out by the maintenance team with a focus on fire safety and communal repairs.

Neighbourhood Inspections – these are non-technical inspections carried out by the housing management team with a focus on the overall management of the estate including antisocial behaviour and ground maintenance with the aim of trying to engage more with our residents.

With regular inspections and checks, we can ensure our neighbourhoods areas are kept to a good standard, free from litter, rubbish and graffiti and any potential issues/problems can be highlighted, raised and resolved. Housing staff can also address matters of concern to local residents, and look at ways of improving the areas and provide a visible presence for residents.
