Housing Officers have restarted their quarterly estate walkabouts. This walkabout took place on 15/10/20. Local Housing Leeds Officer, Mohammed Ahmed, looked at the following streets where there are Housing Leeds properties located and identified several issues:
Street Names
Bismarck Drive, Street and Way

Disraeli Gardens and Terrace
Waste Crime: fly-tipping was found on Bismarck Drive and this has been removed by Leeds City Council Cleaner Neighbourhoods. If you receive Council Tax Benefit or are on Universal Credit, you may be eligible for bulky waste to be removed for free by calling 0113 222 4406. If they are in good condition, please contacting our re-use partners who might be able to take it for free.

Litter: excessive litter was found on Bismarck Drive and Disraeli Terrace and should have now been removed by Cleaner Neighbourhoods.
General Repairs: several general repair issues on public land where identified on Bismarck Street and Disraeli Terrace. These have been raised to Leeds Highways and Housing Leeds Repairs and Maintenance to be addressed.
Unkept Gardens: if you struggle to maintain your garden and are a Leeds Homes Tenant with a mobility need, you may be eligible for one off assistance to make it more management. Please contact Housing Leeds to ask. For everyone else, the Council residential cleaning business might be of help, you can view this online or can call 0113 378 2337.
