Cleaner, Safer, Greener
Efforts to make the Nunsthorpe neighbourhood a better place to live have been recognised with a prestigious award.
Environmental campaign group Keep Britain Tidy has handed us one of its quality marks in recognition of the improvements being made to the neighbourhood.
The Cleaner Safer Greener Quality Mark was awarded at initiator level after an independent assessment of the work undertaken by ourselves, our partners and Nunsthorpe residents.
While the physical environment was important, they also looked at how we worked with residents and our partners, such as Humberside Police and North East Lincolnshire Council, to improve community relations, reduce anti-social behaviour and create a better place to live and work.
We’re really proud that the efforts being made over a number of years are bearing fruit.
Residents are feeling the benefits of the improvements which have been made and it is really satisfying to receive national recognition.
There is still a lot to do but we’re heading in the right direction.
In its assessment, the Tidy Britain Group pinpointed numerous strengths:
“There is a strong commitment to deliver high quality services for the Nunsthorpe area and Shoreline has a clear view of its own areas for improvement and its aspirations”.
“Residents were very positive about the difference that Shoreline has made since taking over the properties in the area and that it encourages residents to participate.
“The multi-agency holistic approach is ensuring a high level of cooperation and understanding in delivering a cleaner, safer, greener environment,” the assessment added.
Home Choice
A new, fairer, and faster way of finding a home for rent in northern Lincolnshire will be introduced in October 2010.
The new scheme, called Home Choice Lincs, is part of a national initiative called Choice Based Lettings that brings local councils and housing associations together to jointly advertise homes available for rent.
The local partnership is made up of North Lincolnshire Council, North East Lincolnshire Council, North Lincolnshire Homes Ltd, Shoreline Housing Partnership Ltd and L&H Homes, who are all working together to introduce the scheme.
The partnership is responsible for more than 20,000 homes across northern Lincolnshire, but until now people wanting to rent a home have had to register separately and join a waiting list for each of the housing associations.
The Home Choice Lincs scheme will mean that people only have to register once. It also gives people more choice and information about homes that may be available to them throughout the whole of northern Lincolnshire so people have better opportunities to find a home that’s right for them.
We have recently consulted on the draft allocations policy for the scheme and will be using the feedback to improve the scheme and allocation policy.
For more information about the scheme and to see a copy of the consultation summary, please visit the new Home Choice Lincs website at www.homechoicelincs.org.uk.
