| The approach to the Scheme Houses |
Most of the issues reported to us related to litter, dog fouling, fly-tipping and the condition of some private sector rented properties in the village - particularly back yards - so we asked for representatives from the neighbourhood wardens, police, anti-social behaviour unit, private sector office and the clean and green team to go on a walkabout with us around the village.
The main locations highlighted by residents for attention included Hardwick Street, West Street, West Avenue, the approach to the Scheme Houses, East Street, some of the back lanes between First Street and Eleventh Street, open spaces and a number of individual properties throughout the village.

| The back lane between Ninth & Tenth Streets |
Following the walkabout we got together in the Resource Centre where officers listened to our particular concerns (as expressed to us by residents) and set to work on drafting an action plan to tackle a number of the issues raised. Already officers have confirmed by email that the following items and incidents have been reported to the relevant sections and agencies for their attention:
