Earlier this year we carried out a Housing Needs Survey so we know about your current housing needs and what you think of your home and the estate.
The information provided has now been analysed and the key findings from the report was shared at the last Residents Meeting, held on Thursday 21 November 2019.
We are still working on the detail of the Housing Needs Assessment Report that will be published during Spring 2020.

We are carrying out a number of surveys to empty properties which will involve some noisy drilling and we will be making arrangements for residents who are home during the day and do not want to stay in their flats when the work is going on.
Surveys at Rosewood Court are currently taking place and work at Gean Court will take place in January 2020 with the other two blocks of flats being surveyed in spring 2020.
Results of these surveys should be available by June 2020.
If you have any questions please call your Housing Officer, Senior Housing Officer, Khemba Ankhrah on 0208 496 4900.
