As a resident director, I can give input to the decisions being made that will make our estates a place where we all want to live, and an example of how residents’ involvement can achieve wonderful results. |

I’ve been a board member 2-3 years. I’m always interested to hear what’s going on, and I like to meet people. I’ve been pleased to see some of the changes that have happened – so far, so good! |

Jim Ross
I am very happy to be able to contribute my past skills and experience for the benefit of community, I became interested, firstly as a member of the Housing Liaison Board, and later as a founding member of The PPH, when I was approached by the New Deal team as a prospective board member. It is extremely interesting and more and more of our results are showing their worth around the estates already. If you have any pet hates, or better if you feel that you may have ideas which need airing get in touch with us, |

Sandra Winters (Resident Vice Chairperson)
