Major cleaning project underway at Eldon and Barker street neighbourhoods

We have invested £23,000 in a major cleaning programme to refresh communal areas across 20 apartment blocks in Eldon and Barker Street neighbourhoods.

The four-week project will see communal walkways, entrances and bin store areas professionally jet washed, helping to improve the appearance and cleanliness of the neighbourhoods for customers.

The initiative was introduced following customer feedback, which highlighted the importance of keeping shared spaces clean, welcoming and well maintained.

To carry out the specialist work, we have appointed cleaning contractors Rokjet, who began work last month using specialist jet-washing equipment.

David Wrigley, Head of Neighbourhood Care at FCHO, said:

"We're committed to listening to our customers and acting on their feedback. This project is a direct response to requests for improvements to communal areas, particularly bin store locations following the summer months.

"By investing in these neighbourhoods, we're helping to create cleaner and more attractive places for people to live. We'll also be gathering feedback from customers to understand the impact of the work and whether similar improvements could be delivered in other neighbourhoods in the future."

The blocks included in the cleaning programme are:

• Browbeck
• Fellside
• Stonecroft
• Claymoor
• Finchcroft
• Monkswood
• Oakenclough
• Tentercroft
• Barlow House
• Wimpenny House
• Eldon Precinct
• Bradley House
• Millrise
• Hague House
• Heywood House
• Parr House
• Potter House
• Purdy House
• Stott House
• Wild House

The investment forms part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining neighbourhoods and ensuring customers are proud of the places they call home.
