When asked “What score would you give for the appearance of Cwrt Tarrell?” you gave us:

4/10In addition:

• Nearly half of you said the scheme looked bland/boring/in need of brightening up

• Nearly half of you felt planting in front of the flats would help• Over a third of you felt that the scheme could do with

some paint or cladding (similar to Parc Tarrell) and want improvements to the bin area

• 4 of you are willing to get involved in looking after planters/gardening.

When we asked those with external stairs: “How would you rate a) the safety of the external stairs and b) the appearance of the external stairs?” you gave a score out of ten of:

• And all of you were concerned that the stairs are slippery1.25

When asked “How concerned are you about rats in the bin store and in the garden area?”

The majority of you had not seen any rats.

Those residents that had seen rats in the communal garden felt that they were being drawn in by people feeding the birds.

Being so close the river rates are potentially a problem. You can help by reducing their main food sources:

• recycle your food waste properly in the appropriate containers• report fly tipping/dumped black bags on the floor in the bin area• stop feeding the birds.
