Estate Walkabouts

Our Estate Managers carry out regular walkabouts on the estates to see if there are any problems that the Association, Local Authority or other agencies need to deal with. Residents are always welcome to join our Estate Managers to walk around their estate.

If you want to join your Estate Manager on a walkabout on your estate, please contact them to confirm the details (very occasionally walkabouts may have to change at short notice due to unforeseen circumstances.)
