Immingham

We are writing to all residents of the flats at Alden Close (Ashby, Aylesby and Beelsby) to remind them of the importance of maintaining a respectful and clean-living environment within the block of flats. Several issues have been raised, and we would like to address them for the benefit of everyone.

1. Smoking in Communal Areas

Smoking in the internal communal areas is illegal and puts other residents at increased risk. The communal areas must be smoke free by law, anyone caught smoking in these areas can be prosecuted by the Local Authority and is in breach of their tenancy.

2. Improper Use of the Bin Store

The bin stores are not being used as intended. Only household waste should be placed inside the designated bins. The bin area is not for the disposal of bulky items such as carpets, furniture, or mattresses. If you need to dispose of such items, please contact the local Council for collection services or visit a nearby recycling centre. Also, if the bin store is full, please do not leave items in or around the bin as this prevents the Council from emptying. Continued excess waste around the bin store will result in us recharging all residents the removal costs.

3. Noise Disturbances

Excessive noise, particularly during late-night hours, is becoming an issue. While some level of noise is to be expected living in shared spaces, we kindly ask all residents to be considerate of their neighbours, particularly those who are vulnerable, elderly, or living with health conditions. Persistent late-night noise is unacceptable and can have a significant impact on the mental health and wellbeing of others. Please be mindful of the noise you make, especially after hours.

4. Communal Grounds

The grassed areas are for the enjoyment of all residents. Please do not park vehicles on grassed areas or leave children’s toys such as trampolines, swings, paddling pools out for excessive periods of time. This is to ensure both your safety and that we comply with our responsibilities as your landlord.

5. Items Left in Common Areas

No items whatsoever should be stored or left in communal areas, in meter cupboards, underneath stairways or in drying rooms. We will remove any items identified in line with the displayed TORT notices.

As a reminder, this is a shared living environment, and it is essential that all residents treat each other with respect. Let us all work together to ensure that our community remains a safe, clean, and peaceful place for everyone.

If you have any questions or concerns, or if you wish to report any further issues, please do not hesitate to contact us directly.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Yesterday saw the official opening of the brand new playground in Immingham. Brought to you in collaboration with our partners E.ON and Immingham Town Council.

It was fantastic to see so many happy, smiling faces enjoying free ice cream in the sun.

Our partners at One Voice are running a short questionnaire to gain some insight into what local residents would like to see taking place in terms of activities.

Please help shape the activities that take place in Immingham by completing the survey: here

This week we have been out twice with partners in your neighbourhoods looking at specific issues.

On Wednesday we met with the Anti-social behaviour and Environmental Enforcement teams from North East Lincolnshire Council (NELC) to consider ways of reducing and responding to fly-tipping on Ings Lane. This area has been highlighted by NELC as a hot spot for fly-tipping so conversations have started with land owners and interested parties in how to restrict access, remove fly-tipping, educate residents and take appropriate action on those responsible.

Thursday morning saw our monthly patch audit take place. This month we were joined by Humberside Police, One Voice, Centre4, and, ward councillors as we focussed on the outer edge of the Reedmere Estate. We conduct walkabouts of all our estates to enable customers and partner agencies to join us to discuss how LHP can improve their neighbourhoods including issues such as grass cutting, planned maintenance works, parking issues, play areas, security lighting, empty properties, plans for unused garage sites, LHP fencing, and, Anti-Social Behaviour in the area etc. IF you wish to join us please get in touch.

North East Lincolnshire Council (NELC), Humberside Police and other partners, including Lincolnshire Housing Partnership (LHP) have launched a joint initiative to further address and tackle anti-social behaviour (ASB) across Immingham.

Operation Agility is focused on helping solve the problems that matter most to residents of Immingham from nuisance bike riders to fly-tipping.

So far, there have been multi-agency days of action, drugs dog searches and Op Yellowfin (a Humberside Police initiative aimed at tackling motorbike ASB) activity dedicated to making Immingham a safer community.

The multi-agency response has included ourselves, NELC, Immingham town council, Equans, Environmental team, WISE, and, local ward councillors. In total, the town has seen five Days of Action since the launch of the initiative in March.

Three of the days of action, led by Humberside Police, involved the use of drugs dogs and were informed by feedback from businesses and community members, alongside ongoing policing efforts. As a result, officers carried stop searches and also gathered valuable information.

Education is a key part of Op Agility, with teams visiting schools in the area to educate pupils about the responsible use of motor vehicles. Teams also spoke to parents outside Pilgrim Academy to discuss the use of such transport in the local area.

During the multi-agency day of action, members from all partner agencies conducted a ward walk, actively listening to residents to gain a deeper understanding of their concerns.

With foundations firmly in place, LHP, NELC, Humberside Police and others are committed to tackling the ASB and nuisance behaviour, addressing community concerns with plans to continue Op Agility in the coming months.

Sergeant Katie Call, leading the initiative, said: “We know the impact antisocial behaviour and related crime can have on residents. That’s why we’ve launched Operation Agility, an initiative dedicated to tackling ASB in Immingham. By working closely with our partners, we provide a multiagency response to crime, with the aim to further improve community safety.

‘’Since the launch of Operation Agility, we’ve already seen a positive impact and remain committed to building on this progress. With proactive days of action carried out, including drugs dog operations and multi-agency ward walks, we’ve seen increased engagement during our day-to-day activities and through public initiatives like Humber Talking.

‘’As part of the operation, our efforts are centred on days of action, including hotspot patrolling, proactive policing, and problem-solving initiatives. By fostering strong partnerships and collaborating closely with the community, we are addressing local concerns, protecting vulnerable individuals, and striving to improve the overall environment in Immingham.

‘’We encourage residents to report any concerns or incidents to us or the relevant agencies. Every report is invaluable, helping us gather essential information to improve safety and tackle crime effectively.

‘’We’ll continue to do everything within our power to bring those responsible for crimes in Humberside to justice, so that residents feel safe, and victims receive the justice they deserve.”

Last week Lincolnshire Housing Partnership joined up with Humberside Fire & Rescue and their cadets to have a spring clean around the Pelham Road group dwelling.

Local residents were very appreciative of the work carried out which filled several waste bags following leaves and litter being swept up and paths cleared.

Colleagues from Lincolnshire Housing Partnership together with Immingham Town Council and Councillors Stewart and Karen Swinburn completed a Spring Clean in glorious Spring sunshine yesterday afternoon at the flats in Immingham off Alden Close.

Plenty of excess waste and litter was cleared as well as the bin stores being given a sweep out too - we filled a skip and Immingham Town Council filled their cage van too.

Here's to keeping your communities clean and safe.
