Dawdon Community Action Scheme

We are preparing to move into Dawdon where we will be from 6 May until 18 July 2025.

The count indicates there are around 450 properties in this area. We will concentrate on the following streets:

  • Fox Street
  • Strangways Street
  • Ilchester Street
  • Stavordale Street
  • King Edward Road
  • Wynyard Street
  • Dawdon Cresent
  • Longnewton Street
  • Embleton Mews
  • Lindisfarne House
  • Queen Alexandra Road - partial
  • Embankment Road - partial
  • Cottages Road - partial

The map shows the area we will cover.

In the first phase of this programme, we ask local groups, residents, and businesses in the local community about what concerns they would like us to tackle together and agree on 3-4 priorities.

In the second phase, we use this information to then plan and carry out 7 weeks of action.

In the final phase, we ask you what impact our actions have had on the area.

We hope that our actions together to improve local conditions has positive impacts on your community beyond the project time and that you experience longer term benefits.

Thank you to everyone who came to our events and participated in the activities.

During our time in Dawdon we:

  • focused walkabouts with partners targeting areas of concern which had been raised by residents.
  • held five face-to-face resident surgeries were held along with visits to other community meetings. These featured information from partners, including topics requested by residents.
  • picked up 80 issues of concern identified through walkabouts and resident reports. 28 legal notices have been served requiring owners to carry out works, with further legal notices also served by partner departments.

Please give us your feedback here on the work we have carried out in this review phase.

Once we have your feedback, we will update this section to include a summary of your feedback.
