As autumn arrives, our green spaces start to change. πŸ‚ From falling leaves and changing colours to seasonal wildlife, there’s plenty to notice in the spaces around our communities.

You might see trees and plants preparing for winter, birds and other wildlife making use of hedges and green spaces, and seasonal maintenance taking place to help keep shared areas safe, tidy and welcoming.

As we head further into autumn, please help us look after these spaces by using bins, keeping paths clear and leaving wildlife undisturbed.

As temperatures drop and homes become less ventilated, damp and mould can become more common. Taking a few simple steps can help keep your home healthy, comfortable and free from excess moisture. 🌿

Opening windows regularly, using extractor fans when cooking or showering, keeping lids on pans and wiping away condensation from windows and sills can all help reduce moisture in your home. πŸ’¨ Keeping rooms well ventilated and maintaining a steady temperature can also make a difference.

If you notice damp, mold or persistent condensation in your home, please let us know as soon as possible so we can help. βœ… We take every report seriously and aim to address the underlying cause of the problem.

πŸ”¨ Getting Your Home Ready for the Colder Months

With colder and wetter weather on the way, it’s worth taking a little time to check that your home is prepared. Keep an eye out for anything that could cause problems over the winter, such as draughty windows and doors, leaks, damp or issues with your heating.

It’s also important to report repairs early and let us know about any problems with paths, gutters or communal areas so they can be looked into before the weather gets worse.

A few simple checks now could help prevent bigger issues later in the season. If you spot something that needs attention, please report it to us as soon as possible.

🚸 After-School Safety: A Reminder for Families

As children become more independent and start spending more time at home or walking home from school, it’s a good time for families to have a quick chat about staying safe.

Here are a few simple reminders:

🚢 Walking home: Make sure children know their route and understand where they can go for help if they need it.

🚦 Road safety: Remind children to use crossings where possible, stop and look carefully before crossing, and stay aware of traffic.

🏠 At home: Talk about what they should do if they arrive home before an adult, including who they can contact if they need help.

πŸ“± Staying in touch: Agree on how children can contact you and make sure they know important emergency contact details.

πŸ‘€ Looking out for each other: We all have a part to play in keeping children safe. If you see something concerning in your community, please report it to the appropriate service.

A few simple conversations can help children feel confident and prepared as they become more independent.
