We’re
committed to creating a bright future for communities in Stockbridge
Village and Fitton Hill – and to making sure people of all
backgrounds have equal opportunities to become Villages tenants. We also want more tenants to take an active role in communities on both estates – whether it’s by joining the board, or tenants’ associations, or getting involved in more informal activities. Popular annual initiatives like the pantomimes and the mug and calendar design competitions will continue as we use art and sport to get more young people involved in the community. We’ll be backing national events like the ‘Big Draw’ in Stockbridge Village as well as Fitton Hill and maintaining support for local events arranged by the Tenants’ Forum. There’ll be new events too to complement existing activities on the two estates – including possible joint projects to link tenants in Oldham and Knowsley. We’re also planning to develop effective partnerships to tackle anti social behaviour – another of the concerns raised by surveyed tenants. A sense of community is vital to sustain thriving estates and dozens of local initiatives have benefited directly from Villages’ funding. We’ve launched our own community projects too. |
