This month we are launching our Good Neighbour campaign where we will be sharing some fantastic tips from your community and ideas about how you can be the neighbour that you would like to live next door to. We have also included some advice to deal with those tricky situations that we can all find ourselves in from time to time.
Some of the topics we will be covering include:
- A few ‘rubbish’ ideas: We want everyone to live in a community that is safe, tidy and free from bulky waste. Keep your family safe by knowing how to manage your own bulky waste and know what to do if you see someone else disposing of it illegally. Love your community, help keep it tidy for everyone to enjoy! Check out our tips in our Good Neighbour Booklet to see how you can keep your neighbourhood in tiptop condition.
- Making your communities safer: Thriving communities are diverse, welcoming, fair and equal to all. It’s important to understand that each person is unique, and that our individual differences should be respected, valued and welcomed. It helps us to be more tolerant and understanding of different cultures, making our communities better. Look out for stories from your communities about how coming together make us a strong unit.
- Everyone Together: Not everyone will be a respectful neighbour, sometimes neighbourly disputes may turn more negative and result in anti-social behaviour (ASB). ASB can include a range of unacceptable behaviours that can cause nuisance and, or harm and distress to somebody else. We will be sharing a range of resources to help anyone who may experience ASB in their communities.

Good Neighbour Awards
Who goes above and beyond in your community? Now is your chance to recognise them. Do you have a neighbour who checks in on the community, arranges events, or keeps an eye on the estate? We want to hear from you so we can give them the recognition they deserve.
