Residents' Associations

What is a residents' association?

A residents' association is a group of people living in an area who have come together on a voluntary basis to take up local issues.

Why set up a residents' association?

Residents' associations usually come into being because:

• the area needs more facilities,
• residents are dissatisfied with the services they receive,
• people want estate-based social events and outings,
• residents are worried about a particular issue,
• people want to improve community spirit,
• coming together as a group provides one voice, and that voice becomes more powerful,
• they are a way of receiving information and keeping local residents informed of what is going on locally,
• they can work with other local groups for mutual benefit.

We take tenants' and residents' associations very seriously in Stoke-on-Trent.
