Valletort Action Team

Valletort Action Team off to a blooming start

In Central Plymouth a group of residents got together to form Valletort Action Team and through taking part in Estate Inspections, and giving us their feedback, we have worked together to turn an overgrown mess into a tidy space!

They’ve been officially certified by Affinity Sutton and have already undertaken their first project!

Previously the courtyard was a dull and barren space between the buildings but now the V.A.T have stepped in and spruced the area up adding a touch of green and bringing some life to the area.

Their work continues with their next project being a communal green area bordering the courtyard, with some help coming from the local probation services to clear the area ready for the residents to give it a makeover.

 “Having set up Valletort Action Team we have got together and tidied up our area and started work on improving our garden, and as you can see we have removed a lot of neglected plant life and replanted the area ready to bloom. As an action team Id say we are positive in expending our goals and enjoying our projects.

We decided to make the V.A.T as until recently we had no Resident Involvement in the area and we felt that our estate needed some TLC and to bring the community together.” – Muriel Smith, Valletort Action Team chairperson.

The V.A.T has grand plans hope to shape the area into an even nicer location for all the residents. We wish them the best of luck from Affinity Sutton and hope to help them every step of the way.

This just goes to show you can make a difference in your area, after all it’s your say your way!
