Discussing possible ongoing working group for estate issues but Alice (discussing with Emma at council) not in firm position to give update
Emma needs buy-in from different teams but proposal is to have a representative from each team who’d give regular updates e.g. texts with link rather than meetings. Need housing officer in place to manage this and confirm.

Discussion of AGM & future of the Residents’ Association

TRA all volunteers so need to make sustainable
Alice explained TRA is voted in by estate residents at AGM.
Struggling to get enough people at meeting and on committee
Looking at our vision as TRA and how to make sustainable
Emma shared options for if we don’t have enough people to meet requirements of being a TRA.
Without registered TRA it’s much more difficult to spend fund money and won’t have voice or staff from council coming to meetings
Looking at 4 main meetings a year. Focus next year will be what we want future to look like
Even if people can’t be on committee, please come to the AGM (20 Sep)

Next phase of regeneration project

***Mew committee members really welcome! Please get in touch if you’re interested in joining the TRA committee***
Everyone living on Kings Crescent Estate is automatically a member of the TRA and a committee of residents is elected at the AGM to lead the group.
All KC TRA committee members contribute their time and skills on a voluntary basis.
If you are interested in joining the committee please email KingsCrescentN4@gmail.com

The AGM will only take about 20 minutes so we are thinking of combining it with a social event to facilitate residents to get to know each other
Details to be confirmed but initial thoughts are:

Kids cinema 7-8.30pm in studio space to allow families to attend
AGM 7.30-8pm in the big space
Quiz 8-8.30pm then general social time in the big space
Bingo at 8.30pm in the studio space
