Q1 Review, Winter Preparation & Wheelie Bin Safety
As we move into the cooler months, we’re looking back and highlighting the efforts made during Q1 to keep the Tyger Valley Improvement District a safe and clean place to live, work and visit. At this time, we also start preparing for winter with all the necessary maintenance to public space, and we ask you to take care of your property and business by doing the same. Lastly, we offer our safety tips for your wheelie bin, which can become a security hazard, especially as our daylight hours decrease.
Looking back at Q1
For Quarter One 2024, we focused on maintaining a safe environment through our security initiatives, which include ensuring bin-pickers and loiterers are monitored and dealt with. Additionally, the Tyger Valley Improvement District’s cleanliness was a priority, with our cleaning services ensuring a well-maintained space through initiatives such as emptying public bins on time and cleaning public gutters when needed. You can learn more about what we accomplished this quarter below.
On the ground report from our manager
In response to the ongoing public health concerns, the TVID Green Team undertook a comprehensive sanitisation initiative in the TVID area. This report highlights the areas sanitised and the methods employed to ensure a clean and safe environment for residents and visitors.
- The TVID Green Team meticulously sanitised all surfaces within the Pop-Up Park, including benches and public amenities.
2. Bus stops in the TVID area were thoroughly sanitised to reduce the potential spread of germs among commuters. Surfaces such as seating areas, handrails, and touchpoints were disinfected using approved cleaning agents.
3. As part of the proactive approach to public health, the TVID Green Team sanitised robots operating within the TVID area. By ensuring the cleanliness of these automated systems, the risk of indirect transmission of pathogens was mitigated.
The sanitisation efforts led by the TVID Green Team signify a proactive approach to safeguarding public health in the TVID area. By targeting key locations such as the Pop-Up Park, bus stops, and robots, the community can feel assured of a cleaner and safer environment amidst current health challenges.
Wheelie Bin Safety
Learn how to keep your wheelie bin and property safe, or replace a lost bin, with these helpful tips.
Keeping your wheelie bin secure benefits both you and the community. Clearly marking your bin with your house number or address increases the chances of its safe return if it gets misplaced. But security goes beyond just the bin itself. To ensure your overall safety, be mindful of what you throw away. Avoid discarding medication bottles with your name or address visible. Shred any personal documents before disposal to prevent identity theft.
Bin placement also plays a role in security. Leaving your wheelie bin too close to walls or fences creates a potential climbing aid for trespassers. Ideally, store your bin in a designated area, like a garage or shed, whenever possible. If not, position it in a well-lit, open area away from fences and walls. By following these simple tips, you can keep your wheelie bin secure and reduce potential security risks around your property.
