Saxilby Estate Audit - May 2025

Following an estate audit form the Area Service Managers, the following was highlighted -

Issues highlighted

• Gas meter boxes missing or damaged
• There were numerous overgrown gardens highlighted around the Saxilby area
• At Oaklands, the external gates and doors were highlighted as they are in need of painting

Actions taken

• We have contacted all residents where untidy gardens have been highlighted. We are working with our residents to ensure gardens are kept maintained. We are aware that some of our residents are elderly and may need some assistance with managing their gardens. If you are elderly and need assistance with your garden, did you know that Lincolnshire Age UK provide a gardening service with a reliable gardener to allow you to enjoy and maintain your outdoor space. We have provided their details in the 'important links' on this page. They can also be contacted on 01522 696 000
• We have requested for meter boxes to be either repaired or replaced. We would ask residents that if their external meter boxes are damaged, to report this to us immediately, so we can arrange a repair or replacement
• We will be requesting for the gate and external doors to be painted at Oaklands

Improvements

We are pleased to announce the bin store at Oaklands has been completed. All the bins are now stored in the new area. A consultation has taken place between the residents, WLDC and Acis to agree the type of bins residents will use. It was discussed if residents would like to continue to use individual bins or whether industrial bins would replace these. It was agreed, following the consultation that residents would continue to have individual bins.
