What are estate evaluations and how do they work?

We aim to ensure that residents are able to benefit from the quiet enjoyment of their home and their surroundings and to help ensure this we undertake annual estate evaluations of every area that has Council properties.

Housing Management Advisors from our Tenancy Services Team visit each area, along with other interested parties such as local residents, Councillor's, Police, Estate Officers and Community Protection Officers.

The group will look at issues on the estate such as overgrown gardens, rubbish, vandalism, abandoned vehicles,  graffiti and the condition of the area in general and the group then decide on what rating to give the area based on the number and type of problems that have been discovered.

An Action Plan is drawn up to respond to the issues that have been discovered.
