Become an Estate Champion

Customers can volunteer to become Estate Champions for their neighbourhood.  Each Estate Champion has a dedicated point of contact to report any issues relating to their area. Estate Champions also attend Estate Walkabouts with the local housing officers and other residents to highlight any problems.  This encourages residents in their neighbourhood to talk to each other about the issues that are affecting them.
