What are residents' community compacts?
Compacts are about improving local housing services. Residents
agree with their village manager and CityWest Homes what services
they would like to see improved over the coming year. And this year
we have expanded them to include opportunities for residents on
employment, health and education as well.
What sort of thing do they deal with?
Some examples from this year's compacts are -
- Security (roll out Good Neighbour Agreements)
- Make estates greener (supporting residents to grow plants and vegetables)
- Improve communication between estate staff and residents (make sure information on block notice boards is up to date)
- Rubbish disposal (making sure that people know how they can get rid of bulky rubbish and what they can recycle)
The Compacts listed below were negotiated with residents for the period April 2009 to March 2010.
