See our Christmas closure information for our opening times and more over the festive period.

We are responsible for making sure our neighbourhoods are safe, secure and well maintained. This means carrying out communal repairs, cleaning and maintaining communal grounds.

Our rating system

The standards work via a 'Gold', 'Silver' and 'Bronze' rating system. ‘Gold’ is the ideal standard we want to achieve and ‘Bronze’ is the standard that needs our immediate attention.

The standards

Neighbourhood standards for cleaning

Neighbourhood standards for blocks (general standards)

Neighbourhood standards for grounds maintenance

Maintaining our standards

Ideally, after each attendance by our cleaners or grounds maintenance teams, the respective area should be at the 'Gold' standard. However, there will be times when, due to external influences such as weather conditions or the re-prioritising of staff resources, that a 'Bronze' standard will be reached.

We aim to address these immediately – or on the next scheduled neighbourhood inspection – depending on the task that has failed to meet the standard.

We need your to help in keeping communal areas clean and pleasant for all. If you see any spaces you consider to be a ‘Bronze’ standard, please report these to your Neighbourhood Management Officer.
