The one-day
events, which represent one street, incorporate intensive community
consultation with fun and informative activities for residents.
Treat your street brings a core group of organisations together out
in the community to deliver these events. This localised, tailored
approach means resources are well utilised.
Treat your street has brought to our attention resident concerns
around:
- Litter, dumping, dog fouling and environmental management
- Young people and related anti-social behaviour
- Parking
- Policing and security, including drugs and alcohol misuse
- The distribution of services throughout Orton
Some of the actions to date from Treat your street include
support work with residents to establish a residents association,
the establishment of a working group to encourage adult learning
with training provided by the Cambridge and Peterborough Learning
Trust and partnership working with extended services. These include
Cross Keys Homes, who marked out spaces with white lines in areas
of Orton to help alleviate parking problems and increased lighting
in particularly badly lit spots.
