9.0 Environment and Housing.
INTRODUCTION. The Environment, and housing and transport are all critical components that impact on residents quality of life. Poor quality housing and associated environments can be a root cause of disadvantage. The quality of the environment and its ooverall management is key on the Dyke House/Jackson residents' agenda.
Transport is fundamental to the communities ability to access services and jobs.
RESIDENTS KEY VIEWS. Empty, rundown and poorly maintained properties, both domestic and non-domestic, are identified by residents as key problems. Addressing poor tenancy mamagement in the private sector is however the top priority with activities such as compiling licensing schemes, and landlord accreditation schemes
having strong support. The need to learn from any postive NDC experiences was also highlighted.

RESIDENTS KEY VIEWS. continued...
The lack of pride in the area and investment in maintainance are also areas of concern. Issues relating to litter, fly tipping, dog fouling, rubbish and vandalism are also areas which residents wish to see tackled more effectively. Proposals to address such concerns included resources for enforcement and publishing successful
prosecutions and a 'graffiti wall'. Transport issues including lack of parking, safe walking and cycle routes and unsatisfactory local recycling facilities were also identified. Proposals to address these concerns include speed cameras, traffic calming measures and traffic management initiatives including filter lights at Raby
Road/Hart Lane junction.
