Rothwell, Robin Hood and Oulton - Your Neighbourhood

Welcome to your area update

We continue to visit your area regularly. You can find more details in the Area Visits section of your neighbourhood page.

Home Condition Surveys are set to begin:

Making sure your home is safe and in a good condition is a top priority for us. To help us keep your home up to standard, we carry out a Home Condition Survey every 5 years – this is sometimes known as a Stock Condition Survey. The survey highlights any urgent repairs that you might not be aware of and helps us plan for future improvements in your home, such as a new kitchen or bathroom. You can find out more information here.

Welcome to your monthly update for Rothwell, Robin Hood & Oulton.

Here's what’s been happening and what’s coming up

We visited the area this month to check for repairs, health and safety issues and neighbourhood management issues.

We are continuing to work with some customers on untidy gardens. You can find out more about your responsibilities for maintaining your garden, and how we can work with you on this here.

We also found that some grass on the corner of Wordsworth Drive is in poor condition. We are speaking with Leeds City Council to see what can be done to resolve this.

An untaxed vehicle has been noted and we are working directly with a customer to resolve this.

We’ll be in your area again on 15^th June – all residents are welcome to join the area visit. We want to hear from you, so please join us if you can.

What opportunities would you like to see for children and young people in your neighbourhoods?

Thanks for reading and please keep an eye out for more updates here soon!

Recently, Neighbourhood Officer, Rebecca Janes, hosted a hanging basket workshop in Jarvis Square. The event brought together residents from the Robin Hood older person’s scheme to plant some spring bulbs and flowers ready for summer.

Keely Watson, Lettings Supervisor and avid gardener, also attended the event and shared her expertise with residents on how to arrange the plants and what to do to keep them healthy and looking beautiful in the summer months.

Residents enjoyed the morning and shared feedback on how they appreciate seeing more of our presence in their neighbourhood and that they’d love this to be an annual event!

One resident said, “What an amazing thing to do for the community. It’s lovely to see such smiley, friendly staff out here in our neighbourhood.  I think the relaxed, friendly approach of this event has been really lovely."
