Had an excellent meeting this afternoon with Colin Mannion to discuss the caretaking review, workman's toilet's and general issues.
Colin gave me a very detailed insight into the thinking behind it all and reassured me that lots of consultation was going on(and proved it). He promised to meet with those tenants who are upset about the workman's toilet issue, and promised to attend a Forum meeting to discuss with its members.
I felt a lot happier after the meeting. I still have concerns about no physical presence in the area for tenants and that some of the officers are not keeping elected members up to date, as they should(I believe some are scared of meeting with us,which is ridiculous).
I've always had good relationships with area managers and housing staff in the past and worked well together for the benefit of the community, but for now that seems to have stopped. Perhaps it's my suspicious mind,but maybe somebody has told them to!
