Woodthorpe

Woodthorpe is a large estate of traditional two and three bedroom homes with good sized private gardens.

The area is multi tenure (with privately owned and tenanted homes) but Acis Group owns and manages the majority of the homes. We also have a small development of flats for singles and couples and a scheme specifically for the over 55's.

The area is well served by public transport into the city centre and is a short distance to nearby local shopping (including supermarkets and convenience stores) and community facilities at Manor, Richmond and Handsworth.

Woodthorpe benefits from access to greenspace including the tranquil Carbrook Ravine Nature Reserve. There are schools within a short walk too.

Woodthorpe is often described as a close, friendly community with strong family connections.

Our homes are popular and are allocated primarily via the Sheffield City Council choice based lettings platform. We are also able to prioritise a number of applications each year from close family of current Acis Group customers already living on the estate.

    What we've found on this audit?

    I've liaised with our estates officer to ensure that some grounds maintenance issues have been resolved.

    General repairs have been reported that we saw in the neighbourhood on the day.

    Untidy gardens were found across the neighbourhood, we've written to people about this.


    What's happening now?

    I am following up with letters which have been sent out and ensuring that repairs have been logged and grounds maintenance issues are resolved through our estates officer.

    If you have any questions or comments then add them below.

    Remember My Acis is there for you to raise any specific repairs, or concerns related to your tenancy.

    The next official audit will be in September 2025.

  • Neighbourhood Audit.

    In August and November we carried out further Neighbourhood Audits. This is where we visit the estate and look at issues like untidy gardens, repairs and improvements to communal areas. We were able to advise on recycling and bulk rubbish removal options. We also arranged a drop in session at the local Tenant's and Residents Association building on Ulley Road. These sessions will continue regularly in 2025. Further details will be posted on Your Voice going forward.

  • Joint Police and Safer Communities meeting at the TARA building.

    In November we had a joint Police and Acis Group Ltd drop in session for local residents at the TARA building on Ulley Road. We are planning to help similar meetings every 6-8 weeks. If you have and concerns in relation to anti social behaviour or crime please come and chat to us. We will promote future events via the TARA notice board and on Your Voice.

  • Family Connection applications for re-housing

    “At Acis Group we very much welcome applications for re-housing from close family members of existing Acis customers currently living on the Woodthorpe estate.

    In some circumstances, we are able to bypass other housing register applicants in favour of applicants with a strong family connection to Woodthorpe.

    *All applicants still need to be registered with Sheffield City Council and bid on properties set aside for the family connection access stream.

    For more information or if you know someone who may be interested, please contact Trevor Fox or Jade Easton – Area Service Managers on 0800 027 2057 / info@acisgroup.co.uk.

  • April Neighbourhood Audit of Woodthorpe

    During April we carried out an audit on the Woodthorpe estate concentrating on untidy gardens.

    We have contacted a number of customers so far and many have responded really positively.

    There has been some big improvements and we thank customers for their efforts. This is an ongoing piece of work with follow up actions over the coming weeks. Where there is persistent non compliance in relation to untidy gardens, we will be taking legal action to enforce an appropriate standard.

    If you're unable to maintain your garden due to disability or age and need any advice on where to get help, please let us know.

    Remember MyAcis is there for you to raise any specific repairs, or concerns related to your tenancy.
