One Vision Housing, part of The Sovini Group, launched its Alleyway Strategic Action Plan with a major clean-up event in Bootle.

The newly launched action plan aimed at combatting fly-tipping and improving the quality of life for those living in our communities is backed by Sefton Council.

The event witnessed One Vision Housing colleagues join local councillors, MPs, a Cabinet Member for Cleansing & Street Scene and Group partner Sovini Property Services in a community clean-up, supported by generous skip donations from Sovini Waste Solutions.

In a collaborative effort, the partnership actively engages with local residents to gather their perspective on the community.

Ian Mitchell, Managing Director for Housing at One Vision Housing said:

“Fly-tipping negatively impacts our customers and communities, and we are committed to taking action in collaboration with Sefton Council. Our strong partnerships are vital in keeping our communities clean and safe.

“It was great to be part of a collaborative clean up in Bootle, the first of many across Sefton.”

Susan Levey, Property Clearance Operative at Sovini Property Services added:

“Being part of these alleyway clean-ups is about taking pride in our communities and ensuring everyone has a clean and safe environment to live in. Fly-tipping has a detrimental effect on the safety and appearance of our neighbourhoods, and it’s important that we work together to tackle it.

“I get a real sense of satisfaction knowing that the work we do makes a tangible difference to people’s lives and helps to create communities where residents feel happy and secure.”

The Alleyway Strategic Action Plan reflects the organisation’s commitment to creating thriving communities and ensuring the wellbeing of its customers and local residents.

The partnership aims to engage, educate, and enforce whilst implementing enhanced surveillance to monitor and deter fly-tipping, and take legal action against those responsible.
