What We Are Working On

Our priorities vary year by year, but below are the current workstreams which we are working on:

• Value for Money - Reviewing Newlon's level of service against costs incurred by residents

• Communal Improvements - Proposing improvements to communal areas

• Parcel System - Working with Newlon to agree a new mail charter and physical parcel system to improve the reception area

• Remedial Works - Reviewing and commenting on the remedial works, particularly the cladding replacement, and pushing Newlon to involve residents in the works.

• Trees - Tidying up and thinning trees in the courtyard and outer boundaries to improve daylight to residents on lower levels whilst maintaining access to nature in the building

• Recycling - Working with Newlon and Islington to improve recycling rates in the building and reduce barriers and costs to recycling

• Anti Social Behaviour - Working with Newlon and other local organisations to reduce issues in and around the building

• Arsenal Relations - Working with Arsenal to improve the resident experience on both match-days and year around.

• Community & Social - Bringing residents together and fostering a feeling of community

• Lease Extension - Supporting leaseholders in reducing costs of lease extension

Get Involved

If you are interested in being involved in the committee, votes are held annually, but it is sometimes possible to add additional members to the committee during the year. You do not need to be an expert, or be able to dedicate large amounts of time. We would love to be joined by anyone who is passionate about an issue, and are particularly looking to improve representation from tenants.
