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.

Please click on the link below for details of the Estate Walkabouts. If you want to join your Estate Manager on a Walkabout on your estate, please contact them to confirm the details of the next Walkabout because very occasionally Walkabouts may have to change at short notice due to unforeseen circumstances.

• Grassed areas and shrubbed beds must be maintained in accordance with the grounds maintenance contract
• Footpaths and communal areas must not be a trip or slip hazard
