Wensley Community Day

On the 31^st July we held our first Neighbourhood Action Day at Wensley.  We had over 25 members of Arches staff, our contractors from Oakbrook Grounds Maintenance and Anthony from GP Maintenance.  We also had a number of volunteers from partner organisations SOAR (www.soarcommunity.org.uk) , North East LAC,  Page Hall Safer Neighbourhood Team, Firvale Community Hub.  During the day we did the following:

• Complete a litter pick around the estate
• Clear away weeds from the footpaths and roads
• Add some new plants, flowers and shrubs to communal green spaces
• Provide skips for tenants to dispose of bulky waste items from your garden / homes
• Hold a drop-in session where you can speak to members of our team about your home or your tenancy

We filled 3 x 10-yard skips on the day, this is equivalent to 60 wheelie bins full.

We will be scheduling more of these in our other neighbourhoods next year. If you would like one in your neighbourhood please let us know and we can look into this.
