Blyton and surrounding

Your Area Service Managers conducted a neighbourhood audit and have noticed the following:

South Street Flats

Issues highlighted

• Conifers growing onto communal areas to the flats
• Overgrown bush at the front of the flats
• Broken chain link wire attached to the gate

Actions taken

• We have spoken to residents about the conifers who have informed us that they have been maintained over the years from the owner occupiers next to the flats. However, the previous owners of the property have now left. We have tried to contact the new owners, but we have had no response. Due to the size of the conifers, Acis will be arranging for our contractors to cut these back and have them maintained in the future.
• We have requested for the chain link wire on the gate to be removed.
• We have removed the overgrown bush at the front of the flats

Mark Rise, Blyton

Issues highlighted

• Household items left in the communal areas of the flats
• Bins located too close to the flats

• Disused sheds in communal areas
• Broken sign in communal area

Action taken

We've taken the below action to respond to these concerns:

• Residents have been contacted to ensure no items are left in communal areas

Improvements

We are working with our Asset Management Team to identify suitable bin areas to relocate bins away from the flats. We will consult with residents to identify a suitable location.
