Bankeyfields Residents Association (Announcement)
At the previous Neighbourhood Watch Meeting a vote was cast to see if anyone was in favour of the Bankeyfields Neighbourhood Watch upgrading into a more public group, that has better access to council resources. Seeing as the current NHW group has been more or less doing this in the past, to me it makes sense to progress to the next level.
So at the last meeting we formed a new group.
Board Members
Chair: Steve Hall
Vice Chair: Steve Barrow
Treasurer: Ruth Woodruff
Sectary: Matt Burke
Committee Members
Alan Seddon
Richard Hawthorne
Janet Krikman
Bryn Jones
We'll still have a Neighbourhood Watch if anyones wondering, we'll just have a different badge.
Residents' Associations
What is a residents' association?
What is a residents' association?
A residents' association is a group of people living in an area who have come together on a voluntary basis to take up local issues.
Why set up a residents' association?
Residents' associations usually come into being because:
- the area needs more facilities,
- residents are dissatisfied with the services they receive,
- people want estate-based social events and outings,
- residents are worried about a particular issue,
- people want to improve community spirit,
- coming together as a group provides one voice, and that voice becomes more powerful,
- they are a way of receiving information and keeping local residents informed of what is going on locally,
- they can work with other local groups for mutual benefit.
We take tenants' and residents' associations very seriously in Stoke-on-Trent.
