Metrostor Innovative, robust external storage solutions which make neighbourhoods safer, cleaner and greener!

metroSTOR is a brand of Streetspace, a respected and influential player in the urban structures sector, delivering a broad scope of architectural covered space projects throughout the UK. With innovative underground and surface storage systems for multiple waste streams, metroSTOR has one of the most comprehensive range of waste and recycling storage solutions in the world. Manufactured in the UK,

metroSTOR is a brand of Streetspace and its ‘safer, cleaner, greener’ design methodology, delivers product solutions that help make our neighbourhoods safer and more pleasant places to live. metroSTOR bin stores are designed to secure waste and recycling safely, preventing bin fires from spreading. They increase recycling rates with improved resident participation, reduce waste collections by creating additional storage capacity within the same footprint. Fitted into new development and as retrofit, they reduce costly fly-tipping with the side-waste and associated negative issues from vermin, litter and antisocial behaviour.

“We’re not responsible for what happens inside the flat.”

It’s a position many housing providers have historically taken - but lithium‑ion battery incidents don’t stop at the front door. As e‑mobility devices become more common, the sector is having to rethink what “reasonable action” really means today.

Join us on tomorrow (11:00–12:30) along with London Fire Brigade’s Nick Coombe and Pete Apps from Inside Housing as we explore rising incident patterns, what would be examined after an incident, and the practical steps landlords are starting to take.

This isn’t about alarmism, it’s about gaining clarity.

Fly-tipping on housing estates is often treated as a behaviour problem, but it is just as often a sign of infrastructure failure.

In practice, it tends to build up where recycling bins are easily contaminated, collections are missed, bins overflow, bulky waste services are absent, and bin areas are accessible to non-residents.

That is why enforcement on its own rarely fixes the problem. At Dale Court in Kingston upon Thames, rethinking the waste infrastructure helped reduce fly-tipping by 80%.

Cleaner estates are not just the result of better resident behaviour or tougher enforcement. In many cases, they depend on waste systems that are secure, usable, and designed around real conditions.

As Tenant Satisfaction Measures move into their second full cycle of reporting, they are increasingly being used as a lens on estate conditions and resident experience, not just a compliance dataset.

We’ve pulled together three things social landlords should be paying attention to as they review 2024–25 results and plan ahead for 2025–26.

Fire safety doesn’t stop at the front door. Bin stores, cycle parking and storage areas can become serious risks when they sit too close to homes.

We’re seeing more fires start outside and spread fast, made worse by poorly separated stores and the rise in e‑bike and e‑scooter batteries.

Good external works design can make a big difference:
- Sensible separation distances
- Non‑combustible, fire‑resisting construction
- Safe, ventilated charging and storage
- No compromise on escape routes

Designing this in early keeps projects compliant, insurable and safer for residents.

Infrastructure problems often show up as behaviour problems, especially on social housing sites.

Residents leaving waste outside bins, storing items in corridors or using informal charging points are often responding to environments that do not support the way estates operate today.

Understanding why behaviour occurs is often more useful than simply trying to control it.

Pest issues on housing developments rarely begin with pests! They usually begin with conditions and inefficient infrastructure.

Accessible waste, overflowing bins, poorly designed storage areas and unmanaged communal spaces all create environments where infestations can take hold.

Addressing those root causes is usually more effective than relying on reactive treatments alone.

We’re unpacking what neighbourhood management TSM scores are really telling housing providers.

Not just how the framework works, but what sits behind TP10, TP11, TP12 and NM01 in practice and how some organisations are using the results to guide investment and estate level decisions.

Join the conversation on Thursday 29th January.

You can’t manage your way out of failing infrastructure.

Communications, enforcement and service messaging have a role, but they rarely shift satisfaction where estate layouts, bin storage or shared facilities are fundamentally failing.

This is why neighbourhood conditions are increasingly a strategic issue rather than an operational one.

Pressure on waste and communal areas is usually visible long before a survey is issued.

Overflowing bin stores, poorly maintained shared spaces and environments that feel unsafe, all shape how residents experience their homes day to day. They impact satisfaction and operational workload overtime.

Tenant Satisfaction Measures don’t introduce these issues. They bring long standing estate conditions into a form that boards and regulators can no longer overlook.

The focus isn’t the TSM survey itself, but what it tells providers about conditions and adequate provision.

Join our webinar to hear sector leaders David Done OBE, Emily-Rae Baines, and Elly Dix discuss how these pressures show up in TSM results and how providers are responding.

Tenant Satisfaction Measures reveal issues, they don’t create them.

Low TSM scores around cleanliness, neighbourhood contribution and anti-social behaviour, consistently point to the same underlying conditions: pressured communal areas, poorly functioning waste spaces and environments that no longer work for estates right now.

TSMs make these issues visible to housing boards and regulators, but residents have been living with them for much longer.
