18 Achray Drive currently have wheelie bins (6x grey, 6x blue, 6x green) which are kept at the side of the building. 16 Achray Drive have an allocated bin area with bulk waste bins. This is a much better practice and the bins are better kept at 16. If we could recreate this for 18 it would take the bins away from the building and tidy up the bin area. This would require slabbing part of the grass area at the front and moving the existing metal fencing. 

3 Leven Square, Kirklandneuk -  the close has not been painted for years and very run down. Looking for a clean and paint of the close to freshen it up. 

Altpatrick Gardens is made up of four blocks here. Block one has a lovely patio area for the residents to sit out and enjoy. However, this requires an upgrade as there are broken benches and dead plants. A new table and chairs, including addional benches would benefit the residents here. A shade area would be beneficial such as an awning. The plant pots are in good condition, however would benefit from new plants with low maintenance to brighten the place up. 

There is also an issue with identifying the blocks here. New signage for the area would help the residents, visitors and deliveries to these blocks. This could include identifying each individual block and providing signs which can direct to each block from the main parking area. 

Residents in the Arkleston Estate have raised ongoing concerns about parking pressures within Housing Department–owned car parks. Many of these car parks are currently unlined, leading to inefficient use of space, blocked access, and avoidable neighbour disputes.

This project would fund the lining and marking of parking bays across identified Housing-owned car parks in Arkleston. The aim is to maximise the number of usable spaces, improve safety and access, and make parking fairer and clearer for residents.

This is a one-off improvement that would deliver a long-term benefit to tenants without creating ongoing costs.
