LOCAL residents from the Chettle Court Estate in Hornsey, N8 took time last Friday to meet with their Decent Homes contractor, health professionals, the Safer Neighbourhood team and staff from Homes for Haringey as part of an Estate Action Day last week.

Whilst younger residents enjoyed face painting and the bouncy castle in the sunshine, tenants and leaseholders discussed the decent homes programme, had their BMIs read courtesy of the Primary Care Trust, met their ward councillor and took advice on a range of services provided by Homes for Haringey including rent and repairs.

“It was nice to have the opportunity to see a lot of old and new faces and feel part of the community,” said Amanda Patten, who has lived on the estate for 23 years. The event was held in the Community Centre on the estate.

Tenant, Adliye Sarica, who lives in one of the 147 properties on the estate, also attended the event with his two children:   “I found it useful, particularly as there was an interpreter to assist me in finding out more about healthy recipes and lifestyle choices, as well as details about the decent homes programme and making sure my home is secured.”

Jackie Thomas, Head of Housing Management, added:  “Boroughwide Estate Action Days were introduced so that tenancy and estate management staff along with our contractors and partners can spend the day with residents, providing information, picking up litter and noting any repairs or concerns that are brought to our attention.”
