Youngsters Chat Over Neighbourhoods And Social Housing

Almost 100 young people from across London and as far away as Portsmouth and Nottingham turned out on Saturday to have their say about their neighbourhoods, their communities and their social housing.

The My House, My Street, My Say! event, which was run by the Tenant Services Authority (TSA), the social housing regulator, and housing association Poplar HARCA, also saw attendees talking about the TSA's proposed new standards for social housing landlords, and recording messages about what they want the next Prime Minster to do to bring about change in their communities.


Peter Marsh, Chief Executive of the TSA, said: "Good quality decent homes and safe and secure neighbourhoods make a huge difference to how people get on in life. This event has given young people a voice – a chance to tell us what matters most to them about social housing and the neighbourhoods in which they live."
