Our Housing Advisory Board is made up of 14 volunteers, dedicated to improving their community and the lives of residents in north Manchester.
They oversee the delivery of services to the Council’s housing stock by reviewing performance in all areas and overseeing our resident engagement activities.
The board is Chaired by Councillor Gavin White, our Executive member for Housing and Development. He is joined by local councillors, residents and professionals.
Watch this space for more about them and their motivations and aspirations for their communities.
