May 23 2012: ELECTION RESULTS – YOUR REPRESENTATION – 2012/13
Thank you to all those who took the time, and made the effort, on May 23rd to elect democratically the next Tenants’ & Residents’ Association management committee. The election was run, as required by Camden, by an independent observer, Saleh Kahn, the Estates Manager.
We now have our largest ever volunteer committee, six council tenants and two leaseholders, and with your support, let’s build on the hard work of the previous TRA, then chaired by Gary Comenas, who’d re-built the TRA last year. In fact, the core of the new committee are re-elected representatives and encouragingly, new tenants have offered themselves for ‘service.’
Despite being part-time volunteers, giving up our free-time, we will always aim to do our best for all who reside at 25 Gresse Street. That is why you have elected us to act on your behalf, with our landlord, Camden Council, the building’s owner, Derwent and any other outside influences, as well as helping to fulfil tenants' residents’ expectations, aspirations, and if we are able to, to resolve problems.
