Belgrave residents got involved and had their say on how to improve their neighbourhood when they took part in two walkabouts.

The residents joined housing officers, caretakers, police, Streetscene and other organisations last Thursday as they walked around the streets of Belgrave to identify problems and make suggestions on how to improve the estate.

The walkabouts were the latest in as series organised by Tamworth Borough Council to give people the chance to make a difference in their neighbourhoods by highlighting issues they were concerned about.

All the issues raised by the residents and identified during the walkabout have now been put into an action plan. Improvement work based on the action plan is already being carried out by the council’s caretaking team.

Anyone who feels their estate would benefit from a walkabout should contact Tamworth Borough Council’s tenant involvement team on 01827 709448 or email tenantinvolvement@tamworth.gov.uk
