£200,000 improvement works voted for by residents are going ahead. 

Following consultations with residents on projects to improve their local Community Links area, Phoenix has allocated £200,000 to implement the projects voted for by residents. Residents were able to vote at chat & chips, online and via postal voting forms.  

Residents from all Community Links areas prioritised investing in planting spaces and schemes to protect green areas from damage. Other specific areas of improvement that Phoenix will allocate funds include: 

• WG Grace Centre in Grove Park 
• communal landscaping in North Downham 
• improving play areas in South Downham 
• traffic calming and closing bin chutes in Bellingham 

Denise Fowler, Chief Executive of Phoenix, said: “As a resident-led housing association, we want our services to reflect the local needs and ambitions of our community. The Community Links Fund is a great example of how residents' views influence our priorities for investment.”

We are always looking for residents to get involved and help us improve our community. For more information and how to get involved, learn more on our website or email resident.involvement@phoenixch.org.uk.
