Estate inspections help to keep your neighbourhood safe and tidy. Your housing and estate officers do informal estate inspections throughout the year. They look to see if there are any issues, report them and arrange for work to be carried out.
Housing and estate officers, together with tenant volunteers, also carry out formal estate inspections. They look at a range of issues, including: landscaping, pathways, communal areas in buildings, fly-tipping and signs of infestations. These are carried out from April to October. We have included an inspection in December in order to compare to the issues that were raised in the summer/warmer months.
We are always looking for tenant volunteers to join us on our estate inspections. If you have some free time and are interested in joining us, please email resident.involvement@scambs.gov.uk
