The following people serve on the St Martin’s Tenants and Residents Association committee.
We are:
Terry from Burnell House (Chair). “I have lived on the estate since 1958, when the estate was run by the London County Council. It was very paternalistic but it was well-run, and I saw its decline as a result of council neglect since then. The estate possibly reached its nadir in the early 1980s when a resident died in Maskall Close, and it was a week or 2 before anyone noticed. I have been involved in tenants bodies since the early 1990s, and I have found that the more active that resident bodies have been the more that the “Authorities”, be they the Council or Housing Assocs have paid attention to the well-being of the estate. That is why I am a member of the RA”
Mimi from Sheppard House. “I moved to St Martins in 2018. Since then, issues with MTVH have been regular. I saw that we had a RA in the estate and contacted them for support and guidance. It was very helpful to see that I was not the only one as well as to get to know people to share experience and knowledge about our area. Being part of the RA is a way of supporting my community more actively and working to ensure a positive relationship with the housing associations”
Saleha from Challice Way. “I’m a Councillor for St Martin’s Ward, where I have lived for many years. I am also the Diversity Officer for the TRA. This is my community”
Stephen from Gaywood Close
Sina from Gaywood Close
Theresa from Abbots Park
