Tenants' & Residents' Associations
There are currently the following tenants'/residents' associations within the Borough, constituted and recognised by the Council:
- Ormsgill Youth & Community Association
- North Walney Residents' Association
- Devonshire Residents' & Tenants' Association
Setting up as a Tenants' Association
If there isn't an association in your area and you would like the opportunity to meet neighbours and new friends whilst making a valuable contribution to your community, why not start your own tenants' and residents' association? Start-up grants of £100 are available. For more information on starting your own association, read our booklet Tenants & Residents' Association - How to get one started.
