Stafford and Rural Homes

Welcome to the Estate Walkabouts page, where you can find information about what they are, when they are coming to your area and how you can take part!

What are we trying to achieve? 
   
We want to help to build attractive neighbourhoods where people want to live.  A whole list of factors influence the quality of a neighbourhood. 

• Grounds maintenance
• Highway maintenance
• Street lighting
• Street furniture
• Graffiti
• Litter
• Dog fouling
• Vandalism
• Neglected property
• Garages and parking
• Anti-social behaviour
• Neglected homes and gardens

    
What will the walkabouts contribute?
We want to know what things concern you, be aware of problems and be able to deal with them. 

Are Residents Involved?  
Yes!   The walkabouts are publicised in an annual programme and the involvement of local residents, particularly those on local residents groups, is encouraged.   Working together with you should make a real difference..

How will I know what the walkabout has found?
Each walkabout will produce an Action List of identified issues or feedback sheet and who will deal with them. This list will be available to all attendees and local tenant and resident groups.  It will also be available on our website within 5 working days of the Estate walkout. 

Will anything happen as a result?
Definitely. The Action Lists will be actioned and monitored to ensure problems are dealt with, and we will work with our partners (such as the Borough and County Councils, the Police,Community Groups, and Businesses) to do this.

When are they happening?
