Basic site information at Raleigh Park
Communal living
We appreciate that moving to Raleigh Park is one of the many new things that is happening in your life just now and whilst it’s exciting, it can also be stressful, not only to yourself but to those around you as well.
Communal living can be a challenge, you need to be responsible for your own space and be aware of the needs of others when sharing spaces such as kitchens and bathrooms. Please note that it’s up to you and your flat mates to do the cleaning so be flexible and friendly and enjoy yourself.
Students will be informed if communal areas are not in good order and will be advised on improvements needed. Should there be no improvement; students will be charged the full cost for extra cleaning and any repairs to the property.
Cleaning
Students’ responsibilities
In order to maintain the standard of your accommodation we expect you to:
- Clean up spillages to the best of your ability
- Keep fridge/freezers tidy – throw away unwanted food
- Keep the grill pan and microwave free of cooking debris
- Keep surfaces clear e.g. worktops, window sills
- Wash up and put away crockery and cutlery
- Put rubbish in the bins provided.
- Try not to leave personal belongings in kitchens, corridors or bathrooms
- Perishable or dry foods may not be stored in bedrooms or on windowsills and please do not throw food out of kitchen windows as this encourages vermin.
Landlords responsibilities:
Communal areas of your property will be cleaned for you each week, but you’ll need to clean your room (and en-suite if you have one) and do your laundry.
Resident Tutors
Raleigh Park has a Senior Resident Tutor and a team of resident tutors who live alongside students here at Raleigh Park and who are available to give advice and guidance to all residents. They help foster a good living environment with special regard to student welfare, discipline and safety.

- Have problems with your accommodation – trouble settling in , noisy neighbours etc
Bin collection days
We employ Nottingham City Council. They call three times a week to empty the general waste containers.
This is on a Monday/Wednesday/Friday.
Don’t forget that Raleigh Park recycles Textiles (clothes, shoes etc) Tin, Glass, Paper and Cardboard.
Waste disposal
It is very important that you follow these basic rules regarding waste disposal in order to keep the scheme nice and tidy and rubbish free – and protect your deposit.
DO:
1. Make sure the bin in your kitchen is emptied as soon as it becomes full. (We recommend once a day).
2. Seal or tie bin bags securely and double bag if there are any leaks.
3. Place all household rubbish in one of the large waste containers inside a bin store.
DON’T:
1. Leave all your rubbish to mount up in the property. Take your bin bags to the bins to the bin stores everyday.
2. Drag bin bags – they may contain broken glass or other sharp objects, which can cause injury. A bag is more likely to cause liquid to leak from the bags onto the carpeted areas if it is dragged.
3. Leave your rubbish bags lying around inside the bin store – PLEASE put them in one of the containers. If the bins are full please report it to a Site Representative. Our refuge collectors will not empty bins if access to them is blocked by loose bin bags.
