Man For All
Seasons in North
Prospect
Plymouth Community Homes has teamed up with
Luke Foster, owner of gardening maintenance
company Man For All Seasons, to ensure that the
empty properties and communal areas in North
Prospect have their garden areas cleared to allow
development work to progress without delay.
Luke will provide an essential service to the
regeneration project by working on the gardens -
he will ensure that shrubs are cut-back within the
correct seasons and that the grass levels are kept
to a minimum on sites due to be re-developed. By
maintaining the gardens in this way, we hope to
discourage slow worms, which are a protected
species, inhabiting the gardens and potentially
causing a delay to the re-development
programme.
Tracey Wheaton, Neighbourhood Housing
Manager for the Regeneration Team said: “The
environmental issues which surround such a large
regeneration project are complicated and can
often cause delays. However, at Plymouth
Community Homes we are very environmentally
aware and we make sure that we do things
correctly from the start.
“We are therefore delighted to have Luke and his
team on board. Through the environmental work
we have already completed along with Luke’s
involvement, we are ensuring that we undertake
our environmental responsibilities in a timely
manner. You will find Luke and his team working
in the area now.”

Police Update
Luke and his team
The North Prospect Neighbourhood Policing team and
its partner agencies are currently working to resolve
issues involving a local group causing anti-social
behaviour. They are aware that there have been a
number of incidents of criminal damage and anti-social
behaviour on the North Prospect Estate.
They are encouraging residents to report all such
incidents – this will help them get the evidence needed
in order to work towards positive interventions and
enforcement action where appropriate. Devon and
Cornwall Police are working very closely with its partners
and together they take a hard stance in dealing with
these types of incidents.
You can contact the Police in the following ways – In
an emergency, call 999, for non-urgent enquiries
call 101 and to contact them via e-mail
