The newly reformed Eastlight Residents Groups for Braintree, Witham and Halstead have been busy out and about in your neighbourhoods.

Joining our Resident Engagement Team and Estate Safety Officers on walkabouts around your estates, the groups have identified areas of improvement across all three towns.

From spotting issues with fly tipping to ways we can improve communal areas, all issues identified as our responsibility have been reported to our teams.

In December, the groups met to discuss the best ways to resolve the identified issues.

    At their meetings, they agreed on:

    • Sprucing up the communal space at Godric’s Place in Braintree by installing seating and planters
    • Installing seating in the communal garden at Colne Valley Close in Halstead. Plus, the uneven drains in the garage area have now been fixed
    • Painting carpark lines on Honeysuckle Way in Witham and planting some flowers to brighten up the area.

    We’ll be hosting more estate walkabouts this year, and we're looking at the best way to offer more to residents who live outside these areas. Watch this space for more information!
