Estate Walkabouts

Our Housing Officers are out in our neighbourhoods all year round responding to customer enquiries and proactively identifying areas for improvement.

On every estate, we also organise two walkabouts each year, giving residents the opportunity to meet up with their local Housing Officer and accompany them as they walk around the neighbourhood. This provides another opportunity for issues to be reported, and for residents to feedback their views on how the estate can be improved.  

The estate walkabouts are on pre-arranged dates and times, so you can plan your attendance.

The first round of estate walkabouts take place in March, April and May, in order for us to focus on the environment as Spring begins.

The second round of walkabouts are in September and October, so we can identify issues and plan for Winter.
