A to Z

Neighbourhood Pride is a partnership between The Gateshead Housing Company, Gateshead Council and Safer Gateshead which aims to:

• Increase pride in neighbourhoods by improving the local environment
• Develop a joint approach to delivering safer, greener, cleaner and stronger communities by involving local people in the delivery of local services
• To consult with local residents and community groups to understand and be responsive to local environmental problems within neighbourhoods
• To engage residents in becoming actively involved in the further development and sustainability of neighbourhood pride projects
• To design out inappropriate landscaping in open space areas
• To design out access to areas subject to fly tipping
• Provide attractive street furniture including dog waste and litter receptacles
• To tackle environmental crime and environmental anti-social behaviour.
