Update: 19th November

Thank you for all your feedback, comments and interaction with us so far!

We're now using this valuable input to shape your Neighbourhood Plan... 🎉

A number of comments highlighted concerns about the maintenance of the grounds, paths and roads in Jackmans. Some of this land is owned by Highways or North Herts Council. For areas we don't own but you've flagged as needing improvement, we've passed along your comments to the relevant authorities. We'll share any updates from them as soon as we hear back!

We'll be in touch soon to outline the next steps. In the meantime, if there's anything else you'd like to share, please don't hesitate to contact us at engagement@settlegroup.org.uk.

What you've told us so far

Over the past 18 months, we've received valuable feedback from residents, helping us identify the areas that matter most in your community. We gained this feedback through Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSM's), Neighbourhood Action Weeks, Big Door Knocks, transactional surveys and more.

Here are the five key areas that have been highlighted:

• A call for more community initiatives
• Anti-social behaviour concerns
• More litter picking and improved grounds maintenance
• Improved bin areas
• Residents’ meeting opportunities

Do you agree with the five key areas above or would you like us to focus elsewhere. Tell us more by taking the survey below.

Why is your involvement important?

Your feedback ensures that Neighbourhood Plans focus on what matters most to you and your community, and helps us prioritise our resources to make sure we are meeting your needs.

We need your input to confirm if the proposed plans are heading in the right direction and to share what else you’d like to see in your neighbourhood. Your feedback will help us create Neighbourhood Commitments.

A message from Joe Williams, Director of Housing

"I encourage all residents to join in on these important discussions, whether at community events or here on settle connect.

Your participation is key to making sure the commitments we make genuinely reflect the needs of your community and local neighbourhood. Where we are not directly responsible for an area or service, we will aim to work with the partners to make improvements." — Joe Williams

What's next for Jackmans residents?

We plan to host various events in October and the coming months, both online and in your community, to give you the opportunity to discuss what matters most to you and your local neighbourhood.

At settle we are relentlessly resident focused. Our aim is to provide homes residents are proud of and build communities that are welcoming to all.

Our 2030 plan has been developed by feedback from residents, colleagues, and local partners with priorities and commitments shaped by what we know is important to you and your community. Neighbourhood Plans empower you to have a say in how we deliver the 2030 vision in your area.

We believe that working together with residents and community partners can create real opportunities for positive change in your neighbourhood.
