Dear fellow resident,
I hope you are all keeping well. I am joined by the Vice Chair of the Resident Board, Tatiana Jose, who has a few words to share
before we provide our Autumn update.
Hello, after joining the new Board in December 2020, I became the Vice Chair in September 2021. This role has allowed me to work with an excellent and knowledgeable team and together we liaise with Barnet Homes to voice our concerns as residents on behalf of all of you. Tatiana (pictured, below)
Summary of June Board meeting
- The Board queried progress on improving satisfaction and safety concerns related to communal doors
- The Board expressed concerns on the ongoing long waiting times, as performance has got worse since their last meeting
- Concerns were raised on loss of income and increased waiting times for those most in need of housing due to long periods of re-let times of vacant properties
- There was positive improvement with Gas services since the previous report and the Board commended them on achieving 100% performance on gas safety checks
The subgroup of the Resident Board met in April to monitor progress of the Community Engagement Strategy action plan. An annual review of 2021/22 will be available soon.
We were pleased to hear judging for the Finest Flowers competition took place in person this year. We’d like to thank all residents who entered.
Stay safe and take care,
Aruna Bhatt, Chair and Tatiana Jose,
Vice Chair of the Resident Board
