Tenant and residents’ associations act as a voice for the residents they represent and are fundamental in making a difference to our local community.
It was good to catch up with Resident Association Chairs serving wards within the constituency this morning. In the meeting, we managed to cover a lot of ground and had a productive conversation about the key issues impacting individual areas, as well as the wider community. This included local and national planning policy, flood prevention measures and neighbourhood policing.
As discussed, I will ensure that concerns are shared with Ministerial colleagues, and I will also work with local policing teams to ensure that engagement between them and the residents they serve remains open.
I am grateful to all for their time, and I look forward to catching up again in due course.
