At the beginning of this month, residents of Niemann Court in Islington held a first meeting, setting up their own Residents’ Association (RA).
Around half the residents are involved in the new residents' association, and we helped them get it off the ground.
They set up their constitution and elected a Secretary, Treasurer and Chair.
The group were spurred into action to work together on common issues, especially problems with trespassers and parcel thefts. We are now working with them to address these matters. The Association is already planning community events, so watch this space!
Speaking about the newly formed Residents' Association, the Chair told us:
“We already had a WhatsApp group; it just needs a few of you to give it a nudge.”
