WETRA Estate Video

27 January 2011

A pilot project aimed at empowering local residents to make their community a safer and more desirable places has been launched in Liverpool by LMH.

The Home Office's Neighbourhood Agreement Pathfinder was introduced on Monday 25th October at Liverpool Mutual Homes' Westminster Estate in North Liverpool.

The pilot sees LMH, Liverpool City Council, Merseyside Police, the Westminster Estate Tenants and Residents Association (WETRA), and the local Rathbone Youth Outreach group joining forces to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour, improve housing and the environment, and engage the wider community.

The launch sees agencies and tenants signing a Neighbourhood Agreement, which commits them to a range of conditions and responsibilities in order to raise the standard of living in the area with the groups holding the other accountable.

This video shows all of the hard work that WETRA, LMH and our partners have put in to cleaning up the estate. WETRA members are the eyes and ears of the community and the first point of contact for other residents.  Using the support and advice available from the partner agencies, they are encouraged to initially resolve issues in their neighbourhood.
