Tenants' and residents' associations

A tenants' and residents' association (TRA) can be set up by residents living on an estate who come together to make their area a better place to live.

A TRA gives residents more say in how their estate is run and allows them to work with the council to find solutions to problems affecting their area. They can also be a way to organise events and activities for all residents to enjoy. Constituted TRA groups receive a £300 grant each year.

TRAs meet with council officers 4 times a year to talk about issues, upcoming changes and report incidents that impact the estate.

If you would like to start a tenants' and residents' association for your estate, email engagement@enfield.gov.uk.

Walkabouts

Estate walkabouts give you a chance to meet the housing officers and caretaking managers who are responsible for your estate. The officers are there to address your concerns.

'Friends of' groups

'Friends of' groups give residents a chance to meet with their officers where there is no tenants' and residents' association set up. The meetings are a chance to meet with council officers as well as fellow residents.

These meetings can be arranged every 6 months. The meetings will talk about issues on the estate, upcoming changes and report any incidents that impact the estate.

If you would like to start a 'Friends of' group for your estate, email engagement@enfield.gov.uk.
