Addressing anti-social behaviour in Heath Town
Following a recent spate of graffiti in the Heath Town flat blocks, Wolverhampton Homes colleagues were able to identify those responsible. Our Anti-social Behaviour Officer is now supporting the individuals to review and change their behaviour.
Additionally, there have been fewer young people gathering in the communal areas of the Hobgate Road flats. Many professionals have worked with these individuals making a positive impact in the community.

Fire Safety team praised for work at Heath Town
Our Fire Safety team - Lawrence Nelson (Fire Safety Officer), Georgina Homer and Marie Shelley (Fire Safety Advisors) - received praise from the City Housing Oversight Panel for their work at Heath Town. The panel commended their responsiveness and strong presence around the estate.

Taking action against exploitation in our community
In February, Wolverhampton County Court granted injunctions against two people who were convicted of taking advantage of vulnerable residents across the city. These individuals took over people's homes and used them for illegal activity - a practice known as 'cuckooing'. This led to more anti-social behaviour, affecting both victims and the wider community.
Thanks to several organisations working in partnership across the city - including the Police, the Council's Exploitation team, Legal services, Wolverhampton Homes - and support from residents, these individuals have now been stopped.
It was reported that over the past 14 months, 12 victims have been identified. By working together, we have taken action to support those affected and continue to work towards making our neighbourhoods safer.
Please remember, these are isolated incidents involving a small number of people. If you are worried about someone who may be vulnerable, please do not hesitate to contact us by using the button below.

Stay safe
Don’t wait for mould to spread
A build-up of moisture in your home can cause damp and mould problems and could affect your health.
When was the last time you tested your smoke alarm?
Smoke alarms save lives, but only if they're working.
A quick test each week can help keep you and your family safe. Simply press the button in the centre of your alarm. If it beeps, it's working. If it doesn't, it will need replacing.
If your alarm isn't working, please let us know straight away.
