Communal and open spaces We want to make your surroundings the best they can be. To achieve this for our tenants we take care of communal and open spaces by: cutting the grass maintaining open plan spaces and playgrounds undertaking communal window cleaning pruning trees and shrubs litter picking removing any fly tipped items Play park maintenance The Council manages several play parks, all of which are inspected weekly by our grounds maintenance contractor. A specialist inspection company also carry out an annual inspection each summer. Any issues are passed to our appointed play park repairs contractor. You can identify whether a play park is maintained by the council by signage placed near the play equipment. Need to report a problem? Contact us. If the play park is not maintained by the council we can still provide assistance in reporting issues to the play park owners.

Contents insurance We’ve negotiated a special contents insurance scheme for our tenants, costing from just 81p per week. It’s important to have contents insurance in place because without it your personal belongings are not protected against fire, theft, vandalism or water damage.
