How getting involved makes a difference

“The area we live in was a tip!”

“Can recycling facilities be placed on the Longley Farm Estate?”

As a result one glass receptacle has been placed in the centre of the Estate, and 3 more are to follow.

"Our community centre needs various improvements"

Arbourthorne TARA wanted various improvements to their Community Centre. Sheffield Homes worked with the TARA and other partners to improve this facility.

"Please stop our communal areas being used as motorbike thoroughfares."

We agreed and purchased an interactive voting system which will be used to collate feedback from your TARA and other residents.
