Resident involvement
Get involved
The council wishes to engage residents and work side by side to enhance the development already carried out on the estate by undertaking wholesale redevelopment of the remaining blocks. To do this, we must make sure that residents are truly involved in the design and proposals for the estate. The council intends to ballot estate residents and eligible voters asking if they are in favour of such changes to the Golf Links Estate.
The council is seeking to hold a ballot of residents in 2022. To progress this we are running a number of virtual, and in person, workshops and meetings, to:
- Develop a residents’ design charter which will capture resident and community priorities for any future redevelopment
- Develop the Landlord Offer - this is the council's proposal to both leaseholders and tenants that residents will need to vote on.
