Riverside in North East - North Bransholme Transfer

8 February 2010

Riverside is working with Hull City Council on the transfer of council homes in North Bransholme. Consultation with tenants is in progress to assess their views on the proposed transfer. Riverside's trailer started to tour the North Bransholme estate on January 25th. The trailer shows a typical kitchen and bathroom refurbishment, to give tenants a flavour of the quality and choice which Riverside can offer if the transfer goes ahead. The tour will be visiting various locations across the estate over the next few weeks.

Members of URBaN (United Residents of Bransholme Area North), the Independent Tenant Advisers, PS Consultants and representatives of Hull City Council staff joined Riverside staff to provide information on the trailer about the proposed stock transfer.

The tour was officially launched by Cllrs Anita Harrison and Nadene Burton, both active members of URBaN. Local tenants and residents welcomed the tour and Riverside’s proposals:

“Really impressed at what I’ve seen and can’t wait to vote for change.”

“Really pleased with what Riverside have to offer. Please vote to switch now. I have grown up with Riverside from when I lived in Runcorn so come on Bransholme let’s get voting.”

“Was concerned, but 100% yes.”

“I have lived on the estate all my life and it’s time for change for the better – invest in us and we will invest in you.”

“After looking around everything looks just as I would like. Very impressed. My vote is definitely leaning towards a yes.”
