Healthy Streets
Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council are aiming to make streets and spaces in your area more attractive, safer and welcoming to use, to provide the opportunity for more walking, cycling and spending time outside.
Newtown handyman service
Through community consultation held in the Newtown pilot area, it is clear that residents want to feel safe on their streets and in their homes. As one of the outcomes of the Healthy Streets project, the Council has appointed a handyperson to carry out home improvements in the pilot area to help residents feel safer and more secure in their homes.
The handyman will install a range of security measures to individual dwellings including window alarms, door chains, ultimate property marking kits, 24-hour timers, door handle alarms and locking letter box plate restrictors.
Eligibility
Eligible streets are:
- Bedford Street
- Newtown Avenue
- Mellor Street
- Samuel Street
- Craggs Street
- Ezard Street
This is available for those who own their property or rent, either privately or through housing association. The handyman service is available for a limited time and appointments are arranged on a first come first serve basis. There is no financial assessment for these measures but your landlord's permission is required if you wish to proceed.
Book your slot
The handyman will be available for selected dates in October and November 2024. If you are interested, email placedevelopment@stockton.gov.uk or call us on 01642 526595.
