MOTION NO. 12

MOTION: Councillor T. Costello

To ask the manager if Estate Management engages with residents on newly built housing estates to encourage maintenance/ cleanups one example would be Balrother Rise, if this does not happen could this be initiated.

REPORT:

As a Council, we want our estates to be enjoyable places to live and our residents to enjoy the public realm around their homes and we encourage our tenants to become more involved in our estate management work. By working together, we can provide a pleasant environment and better quality of life for everyone. The Council’s Estate Management team is available to provide advice and supports to resident groups wishing to carry out improvements in Council estates, including creating community gardens, organising clean-ups and litter picking, and carrying out landscaping improvements and tree planting. We can also assist with supplying cleaning equipment and materials as well as arranging waste disposal for approved initiatives in a local estate. The Council is strongly committed to empowering local communities to improve their areas through targeted estate management works and interventions – we will support measures to increase engagement and capacity building including through the use of technologies and innovation. Residents  can contact the Estate Management Unit at 01 4149000.
