Community Safety & Environmental Bids
Community safety and environmental bids are a one off item of expenditure which improves or enhances the environment or safety of the local community. The bid should improve the long term sustainability of an estate or area whilst offering value for money.
Each year Housing Managers, community groups, local residents and Councillors are asked to identify issues affecting local communities, they work together to outline possible solutions to address these issues and submit a community safety & environmental bid to the area panel.
During Panel meetings the members will discuss individual bids and recommend if a bid is approved or rejected, in some cases the bid is deferred for more information.

Anti-Social Behaviour: How we intend to tackle it!!
Area Housing Panels play a crucial role in developing an Anti-Social Behaviour policy which states how we will tackle and resolve antisocial behaviour on our estates.

Estate Management: Improved procedures!
The Council continually reviews the ways in which we can improve our Housing Management service. Area Housing Panels are continually been consulted both on the findings of our current local patch based service, and have been asked to comment on how to improve the service.

Performance information is presented to the panels who play an active role in the monitoring process. Panel members look at areas, which include rent arrears, turnaround of empty properties, anti-social behaviour and repairs.
Repairs and Improvement programme
Area Housing Panels continually monitor and contribute to the repairs and improvement programme which looks at what money will be spent over the next 3 years on different types of repairs and improvements to properties we manage.
