‘Not in My Neighbourhood Days are multi-agency events where local agencies working in partnership, join with the residents of Mid Suffolk to improve the local environment. A ‘Not in My Neighbourhood Day’ is very much a community event where we are looking for residents to participate to make the day successful. A ‘Not in my neighbourhood day’ can offer any of the following:

• Advice on issues of crime and safety and information on Neighbourhood Watch
• Housing advice including Rent, Allocations, Anti-Social Behaviour and Repairs issues
• Advice from Environmental Health on key concerns relating to noise, nuisance and dog fouling
• The Recycling Team showing residents how to recycle and provide activities for children
• Grass, tree, shrub and hedge cutting of communal areas by our staff from the Waste and Environmental Services department. This can include weeding of pathways and parking areas
• Talks from the Suffolk Mediation Service. This service is used for neighbour disputes and will be an opportunity to see how they operate.
• A chance to meet and talk to a team from the Domestic Violence Unit
• Tenant participation information and advice from Tenants Representatives
• Have a chat with local Councillors, your Safer Neighbourhood Team and Officers from the Council

The Council will be running several ‘Not in my neighbourhood days’ each year so please keep a look out on the website for any new events that may be coming up.
