Council teams tackle major estate clean-up in North Shields

The feedback we have received from residents in our Big Community Conversation last summer has resulted in new neighbourhood teams which are taking action to clean up the Borough.

Despite awful weather, dozens of colleagues from Environmental Services and Housing went out and transformed the area between Prudhoe Street and Trinity Terrace, North Shields. They spent the day cutting back foliage, clearing litter, and removing 4.12 tonnes of waste, while housing teams knocked on doors and left calling cards to gather feedback.

Local people always tell us that cleaner, safer streets are their top priority — and that’s exactly what our teams delivered. Our new approach to neighbourhood management focuses on being more coordinated, treating each neighbourhood as unique, and being visible on the ground. A huge well done to everyone involved — a very encouraging glimpse of what’s to come.
