Families on an Oxford estate will have a chance to highlight hotspots of noise, antisocial behaviour, litter and overcrowding tomorrow.

Three housing associations with homes in Greater Leys have created a map of the estate in preparation for a question-and-answer event.

Residents will be asked to put coloured pins into the map to pinpoint areas the associations need to focus on.

Each colour of pin will highlight a problem, such as noise, antisocial behaviour, litter and homes which are overcrowded, said organiser Sasha East.

She said housing managers, caretakers and other representatives from the three housing associations - Catalyst, Dominion and Oxford Citizens' Housing Association - would be on hand to answer residents' queries at the session, which will also act as a fun day for the community.

Ms East, a community involvement co-ordinator for the housing associations, said: "It is an opportunity to meet the neighbours, have a bit of a social and talk about the area.

"We have got a map with every property on Greater Leys. The residents are going to put pins in the map to identify where these issues are.

"They can talk about anything they want because people will be there to listen."

Ms East said a children's entertainer, a barbecue, refreshments and sporting events would be provided at the event from 3pm to 6pm outside the Farmhouse, in Nightingale Avenue.

"People have been very positive about the fact we are doing this," she added.

A feedback event to explain what is being done to tackle residents' concerns will be arranged within a month.

Margaret Collier, a mother-of-four who lives in a shared ownership Catalyst property in Shepherds Hill, said: "The event is a good idea.

"My neighbours moved away because of problems with antisocial behaviour in a nearby house.

"I do think the estate is a bit messy - I would like it tidier, definitely."

Blackbird Leys parish councillor Pat Stannard, who lives in Green Hill, added: "It may show where there is more litter and it will show the housing associations if there is anything they can do about any areas where people are unhappy."
