Cleaner, safer places to live

We have responded to your concerns, working with you to create a neighbourhood you are happy to be a part of.

Community Safety

Issue raised:

You told us that anti-social behaviour and feeling unsafe in communal areas were ongoing concerns and that you wanted us to focus more on community safety.

Action taken:

The Neighbourhoods Team is now holding monthly meetings with local PCSOs and Neighbourhood Officers, alongside regular walkabouts with the Anti-Social Behaviour Action Team. This helps us identify issues quickly and take action before problems escalate.

Working in partnership with Manchester City Council, we also removed unsafe metal structures from communal areas that had become hotspots for anti-social behaviour, making these spaces safer and more welcoming for residents.

High Street Environment

Issue raised:

You told us the High Street felt untidy and unwelcoming, impacting pride in the local area.

Action taken:

Great Places commissioned a local artist to brighten up the High Street by painting the windows of Northmoor Community Association (NCA) with colourful artwork celebrating the heart and soul of the community.

In addition, our partners at Longsight Art Space planted new trees, and young people from Youth Elements installed and painted new planters. Together, these changes have helped transform the area in front of the shops, making it cleaner, greener, and more inviting.
