Investing in our homes

Grange Pilot Project

Body

Garage Sites

Body

We have demolished a number of unused garage sites. The demolitions have enhanced the local areas, environment and will help reduce anti-social behaviour. We are currently working identify further sites and will keep you informed throughout the process.

Fire doors

Body

Fire doors play an important role in keeping both you, your home and the emergency escape routes safe by limiting the spread of fire, heat and smoke in a fire.

We’ve installed over 950 new fire doors to date which offer up to 60-minute fire resistance.

Roofs

Body

Over the past 12 months a number of our homes have benefitted from roofs. This has included 90+ roofline (soffits, fascia’s and gutters) and over 100 new roofs in total.

To date, we’ve completed full new roofs at Quarry Close, and full estate at McCellan Place and Carey Street. The new roofs should last long into the future.

Bin stores

Body

Several of our flatted blocks have had new bin stores installed. All flatted blocks are subject to a fire risk assessment, on some blocks it was identified that the location of wheely bins were a fire hazard. Following consultations with you and your neighbours, the new stores are now in place which are saving space and reducing risk from fire.  

Surveys and Inspections

As part of our commitment to ensuring our homes and neighbourhoods are places to be proud of we may carry out surveys and inspections in your area. You can find out more about surveys and inspections in your area here.
