There are currently 27 active Resident Associations supported by North Lincolnshire Homes'. A residents’ association is a group of people living in a neighbourhood or residential area, block or street who want to improve the quality of life on their estates.
They are a great way for neighbours to get together, share views and work together for the benefit of their whole community.
To learn more about joining an existing resident association or forming a new group in your neighbourhood, contact our Resident Involvement Team on 01724 279900.
