Neighbourhood inspection results 2025
Our neighbourhood inspections take place during spring and summer and they are an opportunity for tenants to meet with staff and contractor representatives to share any concerns and help us identify problems in their area.
As part of the inspection, tenants help check the condition of their neighbourhoods, buildings and communal areas. They can also feedback on issues such as caretaking, rubbish and fly-tipping, as well as reporting any repairs they feel are needed in their neighbourhood.
The issues identified are separated into two categories by the neighbourhood officers:
- Immediate - minor or day to day repairs or other issues that can be solved quickly.
- Long term - landscaping issues, planned repairs, external decoration, fly-tipping, anti-social behaviours, quality of cleaning or other services.
The team then actions the issues identified, including referring to other council teams.
The table below shows how many issues were raised in the 2025 inspections and how many have since been action or referred.
