Residents Forum

Our Residents Forum provides a fresh perspective on the way we operate and run our services.  Made up of current customers, leaseholders and shared owners, the Residents Forum meets every 6 weeks in-person to:

  • Help us create and implement new strategies, policies and service standards.

  • Review our performance and challenge us if it is not up to standard.

  • Ensure that we deliver high quality services that meet the needs of our residents.

  • Influence decisions, share ideas and make suggestions.

  • Ensure that we are effectively dealing with and learning from resident feedback and complaints.
