Manor Side Industrial Estate is managed by the Birmingham Office of C B Richard Ellis, who arrange the services for the common areas of the estate. This includes landscaping the common areas, arranging cutting back of vegetation, and cleaning any drainage runs which fall within the common areas of the estate. These services are funded by the service charges paid by the tenants.

Other duties include liaising with the Local Authority over the areas which remain publicly adopted. All of the roads serving Manor Side are local authority adopted, as are many of the pedestrian footpaths which link the estate with local residential areas and public walkways throughout the North Moons Moat Area.

There is an ongoing programme to reduce the amount of vegetation across the estate and this project will be reviewed over forthcoming service charge years. The estate was developed in 1977 and extensive planting was carried out at the time to create a pleasant environment. Many of the trees had matured and while this created a very pleasant setting, it also reduced levels of natural light during summer months. Works have been undertaken to retain a significant number of trees, but to thin out the density of vegetation and to create more turfed areas, to improve both lighting and security.

Over the past year we have also improved the road markings, and prior to that a substantial redecoration programme was undertaken to improve the units aesthetically. Alongside this work, directory signage has been improved and a uniform Manor Side logo has been adopted to give the estate a unique identity in the area.
