Our Neighbourhood Officer Services team aims to improve our estates. They tackle issues that directly affect you. They work with the local community and a wide range of agencies. Our Neighbourhood Officers are part of the area office teams. They spend most of their time on your estate carrying out a range of jobs that make a real difference locally.

make sure estates are kept free of illegal dumping and abandoned vehicles
check the condition of open space
get graffiti removed as quickly as possible
raise awareness of local environmental issues within the community
work with other agencies to improve the environment
Housing management
Neighbourhood officers provide advice and assistance on a wide range of housing related matters. This includes the standard of service you should expect to receive.

Working with the community
Neighbourhood officers work closely with the community and other agencies to resolve issues and problems that you identify locally.

Addressing estate safety
Tackling anti-social behaviour is one of our key priorities. Our neighbourhood officers play an important role in making our estates safe and popular places to live. Neighbourhood officers can be your first point of contact to report anti-social activity, nuisance or breach of tenancy.
Your neighbourhood officer will:
work to ensure that all residents have the right to enjoy their homes peacefully
accept reports of anti-social behaviour from residents
help to resolve low level incidents of anti-social behaviour and neighbour nuisance as quickly as possible
work with the police, local council officers and other agencies to address any issues which are having a negative impact where you live
