Residents' Associations

We work with different Residents' Associations in accessing funding for the up-keep of estates, buying mowers, researching information on conservation and recycling or other difficulties they come up against. We organise fund raising events, publicity, tax clearance, insurance, administration assistance etc for residents' associations and other community groups.

We have worked on a continual bases with the Residents' Assocation in the area. This work includes accessing annual funding from the Town Council to maintain the estates with grass cutting, litter control and lawnmower maintenence. We organised fundraising events for estates where there was a deficit in funding to carry out this work. We facilitated the networking of the Resident's Assocation meetings in the Atlantic View CDP Centre
