The Delta TMO Estate ran a ‘Christmas Art Competition’ for younger residents. Two lucky winners received certificates and gift vouchers from DELTA TMO Board Chair Sandy Stevenson. Jack Marshall won the five years and under category while Ella Nash took the top prize in the six to 10 years category.
Wardens at BETRA The Community Wardens were at the BETRA estate in Harold Hill recently as part of their programme of taking the office out to residents. Tenants and leaseholders were able to visit the outside unit and discuss tenancy problems, report repairs, and discuss any anti-social behaviour issues that they may be experiencing. Although it was a very cold day, we were pleased to see a good number of residents and were able to pass out crime prevention advice and complete several repair requests. The Community Wardens were joined by Dan Sexton from the Estates Services team.
Clean-Ups This year sees a programme of Community Clean-Ups taking place and two of those are going to be in partnership with TMOs. The clean-ups are more than just about clearing rubbish. The aim is to improve areas by painting or creating murals, or by planting bulbs, plants and shrubs.
