Home improvements

The Parkway Green promise

You and your Parkway Green neighbours are enjoying a share of £90 million of home improvements as we turn promises into reality.

The five year project, which started in Autumn 2006, is bringing every home up to modern standards, with minimum disruption. Everyone gets:

  • a new fitted kitchen, if yours is over five years old, designed for your own home; together with vinyl flooring, tiling, redecoration and updates to the electrical fittings
  • a new bathroom suite, if yours is over five years old; including a shower over the bath, vinyl flooring, tiling to three walls and redecoration
  • new, high quality, secure front and back doors; and PVC double-glazed windows if you don't already have them
  • a new upstairs toilet if you don't have one, and if there's space. Or a hand basin for the downstairs toilet if it doesn't have one
  • rewiring, to modern standards, heating upgrades and improved energy efficiency if your home needs it.
The environment

We're spending another £9 million on the local environment. We ask local people how they want to see this money spent.

We are making sure local residents get their share of the job opportunities, the training and apprenticeships in trades and skills that this multi-million pound investment in your homes will bring. See local improvements, local workers.
