Anti-social behaviour is complex but landscape maintenance is pretty straight forward and I think in the annual report it is right to highlight the neglect of DCHA in this matter. We the residents pay money for maintenance which is not being properly done. If we want to tackle anti-social behaviour DCHA have to set an example and maintain the landscape properly. Neglect of landscape maintenance leads to anti-social behaviour.
One such example is the state of the hedges around the front gardens of Slateford Green. On the railway side of SG most of the hedges have died, this is due not to vandalism of residents but due to bad maintenance. Residents have to live with this eyesore yet after years of complaining DCHA have taken no action to address their bad maintenance. DCHA could over a number of years gradually replant these hedges

Totally agree. Nothing but the accassional shifting of dirt seems to take place. What is the maintenance policy? Are the housing association obligated to spend or do a certain about?
There is obviously shortcomings to the landscape maintenance, something the residents association is trying to get Dunedin Canmore to fix.
