Issues that were identified on the inspections included:
- Poor railings/walls/fences
- Untidy gardens
- Private properties not being maintained
- Dead trees/weeds
- Litter/fly tipping
- Blocked drains
- Dog fouling
- Abandoned vehicles
- Pot holes and loose paving
Following the inspections, feedback was sent to the inspectors to notify them about the actions that had been taken following the walkabouts. The feedback helped to ensure the Neighbourhood Coordinators were responding to the issues raised. This has worked really well and has been well received by the customers involved.
