Join your estate walk

Council tenants in Doncaster are being urged to get active and join in their local estate walks in 2012.

St Leger Homes of Doncaster – the organisation that manages around 21,000 homes for Doncaster Council – has just launched the 2012 list of walks. 

Information about the walks can be found by clicking here or by tenants calling into their local area office.

St Leger Homes carries out regular walks on all of the estates it manages and  teams up with Doncaster Council, South Yorkshire Police and local councillors to look for any problems that may need rectifying – such as litter or graffiti. 

The estate walks also identify untidy gardens, unauthorised parking, and check the condition of trees, garage sites, communal areas, paths and play areas.  After the walks any improvements or work required is carried out.

Dave Abbott, head of service for tenancy and estate management at St Leger Homes of Doncaster, said: “The estate walks are a great way of picking up any concerns tenants have. It means we actively find out what needs doing and then plan for any work that needs to take place.”
