Area audits

These audits are an opportunity to take a close look at an estate or neighbourhood to identify potential improvements. Every resident will be invited to get involved as will any agency that has an interest or is able to help achieve the improvements.

Audits are led by the Tenancy and Neighbourhood Officer supported by our Community Involvement Team. Each audit has a dedicated budget which residents can use to fund improvements. Previous audits have achieved additional street lighting, provision of storage for garden equipment, extra planting, redecoration, provision of a secure bicycle store.

The area audits currently planned for 2010 are listed below. If you think your estate would benefit from an Area Audit please contact your Tenancy and Neighbourhood Officer.
