Walk This Way In 2010!
Doncaster Council tenants are being invited to join in a number of walks in 2010 - to help highlight any issues on the borough's council estates.
St Leger Homes of Doncaster - the organisation responsible for managing around 21,000 properties for Doncaster Council - carry out estate walks on all the estates it manages regularly and this year's schedule of walks has just been launched.
St Leger Homes teams up with Doncaster Council, South Yorkshire Police and local councillors to look for any problems that may need rectifying - such as graffiti or litter. After the walks the improvements are carried out.
Dave Abbott, assistant director at St Leger Homes of Doncaster, said: "The estate walks are a great way of picking up any concerns tenants have. It means we actively find out what needs doing and then plan for any work that needs to take place."
Anyone wanting details of estate walks in their area can either visit http://www.stlegerhomes.co.uk or call into St Leger Homes' area offices and ask staff for further information.
