What we expect of you
We want everyone to live their lives peacefully and get on with their neighbours. Being a good neighbour means being considerate, tolerant and understanding of other people, their behaviour and their different lifestyles, as part of helping to build successful communities together.
Being a good neighbour
- keep noise at a reasonable level during the day. Speak to your neighbours if you’re planning on doing any noisy activities such as DIY work
- be responsible for the behaviour of visitors to your home (this includes your children’s visitors)
- dispose of your rubbish correctly and make use of the bulky rubbish collection service (two free collections per year per household)
- help us to keep our estates clean and free of rubbish e.g. use litter bins, tell us when they are full, report graffiti, clean up after your dog
- keep your garden tidy, including mowing the grass, removing weeds and rubbish. If you are elderly or disabled and unable to keep your garden tidy, let us know. We offer free garden care scheme to eligible tenants and a garden tool loan scheme
- if you have a communal area, keep this clear and free from rubbish
- don't allow anyone visiting your home to cause any vandalism or damage in your home or the surrounding area
- be a responsible pet owner
