You've told us that we need to make more of a contribution to your neighbourhoods.
We’re investing £2.6 million into your shared areas over the next year, so you can be proud of where you live.
From modernising communal areas with new doors and floors chosen by residents, to making important structural upgrades, this investment is all about creating safer and more welcoming spaces.
We recognise that we can’t improve all communal areas at once. We’ve planned this investment by looking at our data and seeking residents’ views about which areas should be a priority.
Residents in the priority areas will shape how these upgrades look and feel, from choosing colour schemes to selecting preferred flooring.
If you feel your building or estate could benefit from improvements, please get in touch.
What improvements have we made so far?
-
We installed a brand-new playpark in Steeple Bumpstead
The brand-new playpark on North Crescent was built to replace the previous unsafe equipment. Residents chose their favourite colour schemes and the type of play equipment they wanted for the village's young children.

In Halstead...
Residents in Tweed Close and Conies Road have seen big improvements to their communal spaces after telling us what would help to combat anti-social behaviour, fly tipping and neglected spaces. Their feedback enabled us to install new fencing around the communal gardens, 16 bin store pods and five CCTV cameras.

Plus more!
Residents at Bendyshe Court in Steeple Bumpstead have received brand new storage for their mobility scooters, we’ve improved the bin stores and recycling facilities at Jubilee Court in Witham, and added parking control measures at Hunt Avenue in Heybridge.
