Neighbourhood Representatives

Neighbourhood Representatives are a valuable link between us and their neighbourhood - helping to improve where they live by being the eyes and ears of their local area.

What’s involved?

Being a Neighbourhood Representative, you can get involved as much or as little as you want. You might be a good neighbour, looking out for those in need – or you might want to report concerns and issues to us that are affecting the quality of life for you and your neighbours.

You’ll be involved with things that only have a positive impact on where you live – you won’t be responsible for taking on or reporting issues on your neighbours behalf.

Here are some things you could do:

• be a good neighbour - for example helping to put their bins out, doing a bit of shopping or showing them the best way to access the services they need
• pass on important information to your neighbours
• report issues - for example, fly-tipping, graffiti, litter or communal repairs that are needed

In return for becoming a Rep, you’ll benefit from an induction – either face-to-face or online – to help you carry out your role, have access to FREE training through our Tenant Academy, the chance to meet fellow Reps and make new friends and, of course, the opportunity to make a positive difference to your neighbourhood and the lives of those who live there.
