Keeping our estates clean
KNH is responsible for the upkeep and management of all the common open spaces on council estates in Kirklees. Our grounds maintenance contract ensures that all the grass is cut 14 times a year and that all the shrubs, bushes and roses are pruned once a year. We also maintain the hedges twice a year. We have a team of 42 Caretakers who work on the estates and individual properties to keep them clean, safe and tidy. This involves clearing fly tipping and graffiti or repairing fencing and gates, clearing paths and cutting back shrubbery. The caretakers work closely with the Estate Management Officers and respond quickly to any reports of problems. Keeping our estates clean and tidy is a joint effort with other council teams so we work closely with Highways, Environmental Services and Culture and Leisure Services. If you spot a problem on your estate, please report it to us as soon as possible by contacting your neighbourhood housing office. |
