Littlemoor

What you've told us

Our customer survey highlighted ongoing concerns around litter and fly tipping within the Littlemoor community on the roads, driveways and gardens. We’ve previously supported with skip days working alongside our colleagues from different teams to remove the fly tipping from the area, but will be looking to create a wider response going forward as this continues to be an issue for the community.

Our wider feedback has suggested that there is an improvement in levels of crime and anti-social behaviour (ASB) in the Littlemoor area, although there continues to be an increase in use of the Littlemoor foodbank, demonstrating the ongoing impact of Cost of Living, we’ll look to work alongside the foodbank and the Nest to help our customers access affordable food.

Looking ahead, we’re aware there are changes coming up for the Top Club, so we’ll be looking to support delivery of community opportunities with a focus on use of green space and activities for children and young people to support this transition. Furthermore, we’ll be focusing on increasing support and opportunities within the Bincombe area as this community continues to grow and will deliver a series of community engagement events over the coming months, including workshops with Dorset Wildlife.

Your priorities

• Supporting people into better employment opportunities, increasing skills levels and connecting young people to opportunities by identifying and promoting existing support and advice services available.
• Build on existing network of stakeholders to address/create interventions that support health inequalities and improving health and wellbeing outcomes for customers and the wider community.
• Engaging young people in social activities to prevent anti-social behaviour.
• Supporting and empowering the community to create a positive and safe living environment by using successful engagement strategies to engage customers.

We’re working with teams across the business to support our new customers moving into the Bincombe area. We let them know what support and services they can access and programmes they can get involved with in their local community.

We’re exploring future opportunities for a partnership with Dorset Wildlife Trust to deliver a series of workshops around the Littlemoor area to the importance and value of these green spaces and habitat.
