Neighbourhood priorities

Litter, rubbish and fly-tipping

We want to create great neighbourhoods for our residents and communities. We appreciate how important it is to keep them free from environmental issues.

Our Estate Services team works hard to ensure that our estates are kept free from litter, rubbish and fly tips.

Environmental issues are reported to the Community Safety team and if offenders are identified we will deal with them. Individuals will be recharged the cost of the clearance and if the matter continues to happen, they may face tenancy action.

Drug use in communal areas

To address drug dealing on estates, we adopt a combination of strategies:
• Collaboration with Authorities: Partnering with local police, increasing patrols, and using surveillance to monitor illegal activity. Encouraging residents to contact the Police or contact Crime Stoppers to report anonymously.
• Community Engagement: Building trust with tenants, educating residents about spotting and reporting drug dealing.
• Environmental Design: Improving lighting, securing entryways, maintaining properties, and using CCTV to deter criminal behaviour.
• Tenant Support: Offering referrals to addiction support and signposting to where they may access help.
• Enforcement of Tenancy Agreements: If the same individuals are perpetrating ASB continually we will take legal action, including eviction, for drug-related violations.
• Data and Intelligence: Tracking hotspots and using reports from residents and Police to target resources.
• Youth and Diversion Programs: Our Safeguarding Interventions Manger will work with young people and partner agencies to deter young people from engaging in drug dealing.
