So much is already happening in and around the estate in 2025. Fencing replacement has commenced throughout Dunn Terrace to create uniformity and privacy, along with the installation of new bin stores to improve waste management and the overall look of the estate. The Dunn Terrace works marks the start of our investment into the environment throughout the estate.
Construction has also started at Bolam Street – turn to page 18 to see some great drone shots of the site in action and the breaking ground event we held with pupils from St Lawrence Primary School.
Following the success of our big estate clean up in September, we’re holding another on 29 April. We’ll be coming together with colleagues from across Karbon and Newcastle City Council to rid the estate of waste, litter and fly tipping, we’d love for you to join us! Head to page 6 for more information.
After a short winter break, our free customer trips are back. We’ll be running two trips throughout the April School holidays, turn to page 4 to find the sign-up QR code.
As part of Karbon’s commitment to Byker, we’ve been working with young people in the community and local artists to create street art throughout the estate. Thanks to funding from Historic England, we’ve been able to
work on more artwork with young people, in collaboration with Foundation Futures and The Farrell Centre. You can find out more about our work with the Farrell Centre on page 8 and all the exhibits, workshops and activities they have on offer.
We’ve been going behind the scenes with some of our teams including Customer Accounts and Building Safety. Turn to pages 12 and 14 to find out more about the teams’ work and how they can help you.
I hope you enjoy the latest edition and have a cracking Easter as well.
