Meet Your South West Neighbourhood Team
We cover Batemoor, Dore and Totley, Ecclesall, Gleadless Valley, Graves Park, Greenhill, Jordanthorpe and Lowedges.
Our teams work together to provide services in these areas. Each team has a different role. Here's a guide to who does what:
Estates Team
You may have seen our Estates Officers in their blue uniforms around your neighbourhood. They help keep your area clean and safe. Their work includes:
- Cleaning communal areas and blocks
- Removing fly-tipping
- Looking after green spaces
- Carrying out health and safety checks in communal blocks
Neighbourhood Support Team
The Neighbourhood Support Team often provides the first point of contact for tenants. They answer calls and staff the reception at Newfield Green. They also help with:
- Managing property keys
- Managing community centres
- Managing garages
- Supporting a range of neighbourhood services
Ward Teams
Our Neighbourhood Officers work across four ward teams in the South West area. They support tenants with:
- Anti-social behaviour issues
- Rehousing enquiries
- Tenancy management matters
You may see them visiting residents and working with people in their local communities.
How to get involved in improving our services
Your views are really important to us. We need your feedback to help us improve what we do and to be the best landlord we can be. Here are the ways you can get involved locally:
Neighbourhood Walkabouts
Walkabouts are a fantastic way to meet your local Neighbourhood Team, local Councillors, partner agencies, local TARAs and other community groups.
We walk the local area, discussing the issues we see and how to improve the local area.
So why not join us for a friendly Walkabout and get to know your community better? Below are a list of upcoming dates and the areas we'll be covering:
Dates to be confirmed
Local Area Housing Forum
Our local forum brings together local tenants, Councillors, housing staff and local service partners to discuss housing issues in our area. Why not come along to the next one and be part of the discussions?
