Nehemiah Housing Officers organise walkabouts on our estates and all our tenants are welcome to join in and meet with our Housing Officers.

We are committed to our tenants and provide so much more than simply housing. As one of our tenants, you are a member of our community and part of the supportive environment of each of our housing estates.

What Is An Estate Walkabout?

Our estate walkabouts involve walking around the area that your home is located, and identifying any issues or potential problems that need to be tackled.

The issues that might be spotted on a walkabout include repairs to the grounds or communal areas, or incidents of fly-tipping on the estate.

In addition, an estate walkabout is your chance to talk to your Housing Officer and discuss any issues or concerns you have about your housing community, home or tenancy.

Often, representatives from other organisations such as the local council or police attend a walkabout too, which means the right organisation can investigate and tackle the issues found as quickly as possible.

Who Can Join?

Any tenant of Nehemiah Housing Association can join one of our estate walkabouts.

How Can You Join?

All you need to do to join one, is meet at the location and time of the walkabout.

When Are The Estate Walkabouts?

If we are holding an estate walkabout in your area you will receive a letter approx 2-3 weeks before the day. If you can’t make that date you can also speak to your housing officer about any issues you are experiencing or if you have any questions by phone or email.

Love Clean Streets App

The Love Clean Streets App is a user-friendly platform that allows local residents to report street cleaning issues, littering, graffiti, and other environmental concerns directly to local authorities. Its primary goal is to promote community participation in keeping the areas in which we live clean, making it easier for local authorities to respond promptly and efficiently to issues raised by residents. You can learn more about it in the News section of our website https://nehemiah.co.uk/news/2025/6/19/have-you-used-love-clean-streets
