Estate Boards

Each of our ten estates has a Board made up of residents

Estate Boards meet to discuss local issues including antisocial behaviour, estate cleaning, housing and community activities and other ways to improve the area. They also give us valuable feedback on our services.

Being on an Estate Board is a great way to represent the views of your local community, meet your neighbours and help deliver community projects.

All residents can join the board, and new members are always welcome!
