Local neighbourhood events with tenants

In 2023/24, we held 83 local events with tenants across the country. This included annual scheme meetings, coffee mornings, social events and drop-in sessions.

Priorities identified from these meetings are being implemented and include:

  • The installation of new CCTV to combat anti-social behaviour
  • Improvement to grounds maintenance contracts
  • Sharing clearer information on service charges
  • Undertaking tree works
  • Ensuring cyclical works takes place such as gutter clearance.
  • Tenant meetings and events take place at all schemes, apart from areas with dispersed homes. Here, local staff will most likely engage by phone or email.
