Government Backed

Very few government backed schemes and initiatives can claim as much grassroots support as the Neighbourhood Management scheme that stpetersnm.com was born from. The main reason being that people who live in areas like St Peters in Leicester have long had a genuine and deep seated wish to see the area in which they live attain to better standards

Social Housing should not mean second rate or poor standard housing. And yet it invariably does.

Why should the fact that people who live in areas run by local authority or housing trusts mean we should put up with things that our owner occupier counterparts on the whole do not.

Well now the Government recognised this and initiated the Neighbourhood Management Board scheme that will gives residents more control over how the areas in which we live are run, and will gave us a forum in which to hold to account those agencies responsible for the management of the areas in which we live.

St Peters Neighbourhood Monitoring in St Peters Leicester has taken the very best practice from the Neighbourhood Management scheme thay ended here in April 2008 an has developed it under the Neighbourhood Monitoring brand.

August 2007

Leicester city council dumped this waste at the front entrance of Framland House on August 9th 2007. They really need to sit up and listen when we tell them they need to set an example and start to be consistent with their policy of preventing others from doing this.
Polaris Close - Bin room doors in disrepair for weeks. August 10th 2007
Walkway between the High Rise Apartment Buildings is regularly litter strewn - August 11th 2007. It is not enough to collect the litter. You have to bring the litter wardens up from the city centre and fine people doing this and then make examples of them by publishing their details. That is the only way you will ever break the back of this problem. 1) Identify and Catch 2) Fine and Charge 3) Publicise the fact that you have done so.
Litter and poor property management at highfields library June 6th 2007. This is beside a major walkway... it gets seen by hundreds of people each day. Because it looks like an open tip and waste bin people treat it like one.
Furniture and bulk waste caste into Apollo Close Aug 13th 2007. Again... Leicester city council need to identify and prosecute those doing this. This photo clearly shows the source of the kitchen cabinet doors.
Perimeter of African Caribbean Centre Aug 13th 2007. This building holds the status of being on the gateway to st peters from the city centre and the ring road. Litter around it is frequently the welcome mat.
Mensa Close August 23rd 2007 Regularly Strewn With Litter LCC has again like many other litter blighted areas of St Peters always failed to deal with it. "If the area needs bins then provide bins." We noticed as shown in the photo that someone here is selling their house. Good luck to them if they think they can sell it to anyone the way leicester city council allows the litter to run rampant in this Close.
Until leicester city council start to deal a lot swifter with graffiti they will never begin to suppress it. When graffiti is left for more then a few days, LCC contribute to the problem by giving its creator an ever increasing and satisfactory return on the investment in time and effort it took to put the graffiti there in the first place. Some of us want to see LCC start to remove the new graffiti first before the older graffiti Eventually they will find they have to spend less time and money on this task overall as they smash the prime motivating benefit for doing it. LCC now also need to begin to work with EWS Ltd to plan the removal of the litter along the fenceway in this area. There is no point in letting winter arrive and then starting to plan, as it will be spring and concealed by leaf cover again before they get moving on it and another year will have to pass. This no doubt suits LCC AND EWS but not the residents of St Peters.
Gordon House, St Peters. August 24th 2007. Safety Glass has clearly not been used in the lower pane as building regulations stipulate. The fact that the the larger panes are in windows in a high rise buildings where the windows are over walkways would surely mean that common sense would dictate they too ought have been toughened safety glass. The photo shows broken plate glass sealed units which is not in the least safety glass.
