Chester & District Housing Trust brings service to the doorstep
Chester & District Housing Trust (CDHT) has set up resident panels in each of its six management areas. The panels comprise interested residents who wish to influence the way the Trust delivers its services in each neighbourhood area and drive forward improvement.
The resident panels propose different initiatives, promote neighbourhood priorities and work to create a welcoming community. The panels listen to residents” priorities and develop and monitor a Community Contract. Members receive reports, monitor service performance and influence Trust policy and direction.
Residents are encouraged to come along and have their say. The next meetings are:
Newtown, Boughton, City Centre, Vicars Cross & Huntington Tuesday 2nd September 2pm Francis Street Residents Room Rowland Heights
Blacon, North/Hall Tuesday 2nd September at 10.30am 19 The Parade, Blacon

Rural Panel Monday 15th September at 2pm Centurion House

Sue Kennaugh, Resident Involvement Team, CDHT, said: “Joining a neighbourhood panel is a great opportunity to monitor the services the Trust provides in your area. With other panel members you will be responsible for the Community Intervention Budget and decide how the money is spent. You will be able to make new friends and work together with the Trust, suggest new initiatives for your neighbourhood and make a difference.”
