Thank you to our contractors LRL who arranged a community clean-up day in Heywood as part of their social value commitments to us.
LRL are carrying out a programme of improvement works to the communal areas of our homes in Heywood, including Fletcher Close and Harwood Gardens. They're also working on improvements to RBH homes in Queens Drive and Daventry Road in Kirkholt, Rochdale. These works include structural improvements, concrete repairs, replacement balustrading, new floor coverings, rewiring, painting and decoration, and gutter cleaning.
We're pleased to be working in collaboration with LRL, and the clean-up day demonstrates how they are committed to engaging with our customers and creating a positive effect on the local community
LRL is currently delivering a significant programme of improvement works across a number of RBH properties. This includes major upgrades to external walkways, alongside balustrade replacements and improvements to communal lighting. The wider scope also covers planned cyclical maintenance such as painting and gutter cleaning, as well as responsive repairs including concrete remedials, GRP canopy installations and communal window replacements. Alongside the physical works, LRL is working with RBH to support the local environment and shared spaces. This has included organised litter-picking and a resident ‘skip day’, providing an opportunity for unwanted items to be removed and helping to improve the appearance of the communal areas. These initiatives will be followed by further enhancements to communal areas, with LRL supplying new planters and seating to create cleaner, more welcoming shared spaces for residents. LRL is proud to support these social value initiatives in collaboration with RBH. By working closely together, the aim is to deliver improvements that go beyond the fabric of the buildings and have a lasting, positive effect on the communities. These activities reflect LRL’s wider vision of 'making a positive impact in the communities in which it works'.
