The walks take place on a quarterly basis and provide an opportunity for Gentoo and key stakeholders including Northumbria Police, Ward Councillors, and colleagues from Sunderland City Council to work together and proactively identify areas for improvement. The walks are open to all customers and residents who live within the neighbourhood to come along to. 

If you can't make it to the walk, you can still give your views by filling in our online form that can be found here: https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/NWform/
