Redland residents take part in Tenant Services Authority’s
‘National Conversation’
24th February 2009
The Tenant Services Authority (TSA) is the new
regulator for housing associations like Redland. From last December
it replaced the Housing Corporation as the body which monitors,
regulates and inspects housing associations.
The TSA is drawing up a new set of standards for all social
landlords, which it will enforce from December 2009. To help decide
what they should be, the TSA is holding a ‘National Conversation’,
speaking to tenants and shared owners around the country to get
their views.
Redland's Neighbourhood Voices (elected resident
representatives) are co-ordinating local conversations in their
communities. Residents will have the opportunity to put forward
their views on the new standards for housing associations in an
informal and comfortable setting as Neighbourhood Voices open up
their homes.
Redland's Residents' Committee will also hold a local conversation
before their main meeting on 11th March at Holly House, Corbet
Close, Lawrence Weston, Bristol, BS11 0TA at 6pm.
Louise Swain, Managing Director, said:
‘This is an opportunity to help the TSA set
the new standards to reflect what residents have said are important
to them. We really hope that residents come forward and have their
say. By doing so, they will be making sure that we continue to
drive up the service standards across the social housing sector as
a whole.’
