We want to improve the day-to-day experience of people who live in Thamesmead.
We know that means sorting out the basics and making sure people have comfortable homes that are well maintained, with access to great communal spaces. That’s why the service we provide as a landlord will be modern, responsive, and fit-for-purpose.
We will always put the most vulnerable first and tailor our services to tenants and homeowners.
We are also investing significantly in the refurbishment of existing homes that we own so that they will complement our other regeneration plans for Thamesmead. Throughout this, we will engage with local residents so that we can understand what local priorities are, and ensure our plans are aligned with them.
We will continue to deliver an enhanced Caretaker Plus service and will offer residents a 'home MOT' to pick up on any minor repairs. We'll also address the repairs needed to communal areas.
In addition, there will be a significant programme of work to improve the appearance and usability of public spaces. This includes £750K worth of improvements to The Moorings and a £6.9m transformation of public space at the South Thamesmead estate. We will also be removing the Yarnton Way Wall and will work with partners such as Thames 21 and the London Wildlife Trust to identify further opportunities for improvements to public spaces.
We'll also be working with the police, resident groups, and other agencies to help reduce antisocial behaviour across the area.
All this, and our partnership working to improve the health and wellbeing of residents, along with supporting people into employment and training, will go towards improving the day-to-day experience of everyone living and working in Thamesmead.
