Resident Community Use of Racketeer

Resident Community Use of Racketeer — Dedicated Community Access for Wesley Estate Residents

We are pleased to introduce Resident Community Use of Racketeer, providing structured weekly access for residents of the Wesley Estate every Monday.

This initiative forms part of ongoing local engagement and reflects a shared commitment to ensuring that facilities located within the neighbourhood deliver clear, practical community benefit.

Community Access Overview

• Available: Mondays only

• Eligibility: Wesley Estate residents

• Session length: 1 hour per booking

• Booking: Mandatory via the Wesley Community Website

• Use type: Non-commercial community participation
  

All sessions must be pre-booked. Walk-ins are not permitted.

Purpose of the Initiative

The programme has been established to:

• Support resident wellbeing and active participation

• Promote fair access to local facilities

• Strengthen community integration

• Deliver measurable social value
  

This is a structured community access arrangement, operating alongside Racketeer’s standard commercial activity.

Responsible Use

Participants are expected to follow common-sense standards, including:

• Arriving and leaving within allocated time slots

• Respecting staff, facilities, and other users

• Using the venue safely and appropriately
  

Misuse or non-compliance may result in suspension of access to protect the programme for all residents.

Commitment to the Community

This initiative ensures Wesley Estate residents benefit directly from facilities located in their immediate area. It represents a practical step toward inclusive place-making and long-term community engagement.

Venue Policy and Common-Sense Expectations

To ensure the experience remains positive for everyone, all participants are expected to observe a set of common-sense principles.

Residents must:

• Arrive on time for their allocated slot

• Vacate promptly at the end of the hour

• Treat staff, facilities, and other users with respect

• Follow all venue safety guidance

• Use the facility responsibly and appropriately
  

Residents must not:

• Overstay booked sessions

• Transfer bookings to non-residents

• Use sessions for commercial purposes

• Engage in unsafe or disruptive behaviour
  

These expectations are not intended to be restrictive. They exist to protect continued access and ensure the programme remains viable long term.

Safeguarding and Responsible Use

Safeguarding remains a priority.

Where minors are present, appropriate supervision must be maintained at all times in line with venue policies. The Wesley Community reserves the right to suspend or review access should behaviour fall below acceptable standards. This ensures that community access remains safe, inclusive, and sustainable for all users.

Respect the space, Respect the people, and Respect the opportunity.
