Our Neighbourhood Services Team recently joined local councillors and Sefton Council representatives for a walkabout around Ford Lane in Litherland to see first hand how the area is looking and discuss ways to make it an even better place to live. The visit was the perfect opportunity to see the neighbourhood looking clean, tidy and well cared for, with communal gardens maintained to a high standard thanks to the ongoing work of our Grounds Maintenance Team. 

Taking action 

During the visit, a small number of issues were identified, including untidy gardens and fly-tipping. These have since been addressed to help keep the neighbourhood clean and welcoming.

Ahead of Bonfire Night, Sefton Council also arranged the removal of dumped bulky items from a local park, improving the area and helping to reduce the risk of waste being used for illegal bonfires. The walkabout also provided an opportunity to discuss ongoing work to tackle anti-social behaviour and support a safer neighbourhood for everyone.

Working together to make a difference 

Regular neighbourhood walkabouts help us work closely with local partners to identify issues, take action where needed and make sure our communities remain great places to live. By working together, we can continue improving our neighbourhoods and creating thriving communities. 

Help keep our neighbourhoods clean

Fly-tipping can have a negative impact on our communities, affecting the appearance of neighbourhoods and creating potential safety hazards.

To report fly-tipping anonymously or find details of your local council’s bulky item collection service, please visit our fly-tipping support page for more information.
