  • Joint working to share resources and increase resident engagement.
  • Make referrals to Employment Support Team.

Improve environmental standards - Eastlands Gardens

  • Carry out another estate inspection at Eastlands Gardens to tackle overgrown, untidy gardens and waste.
  • Review historic fencing layouts to identify any improvements.
  • Monitor roads and pavements during estate inspections.
  • Encourage residents to report issues using the online system.
  • Resident engagement on correct waste disposal, including bulky waste and recycling options.

Strengthen relationships with community groups

We want to involve residents more in local decisions and ensure your views shape future priorities in Almondbury.

  • Build a strong partnership with the Almondbury Action Group and attend community activities and events - August 2026.
  • Use the partnership to increase resident involvement in decision-making - August 2026.
  • Improve resident engagement through surveys, tenant forums, and other activities - August 2026.
