Types of schemes that can be considered are:
- Enhancing neglected areas by replacing fencing, benches, bins and tidying up overgrown plant beds.
- Improving the layout of footpaths and removing inappropriate steps.
- Removing isolated grass and planted areas.
- Reducing nuisance issues such as ball games.
- Upgrading of open space and youth facilities.

Other similar types of scheme that are deemed a priority by the residents in a particular neighbourhood can also be considered.
