SUMMARY:ETRA & Community Meeting 14 July 2026
DESCRIPTION:Minutes \n14 July 2026 7.30 – 9pm in Hackney Showroom \n‘Enhanced’ Tenants & Residents Association & Community Update Meeting \n\n\n\n \nAgenda Item\nLead\nActions\n\n\n1\nWelcome\, Introductions & Apologies \n  \nMeeting attended by June Welcome (LBH) and 9 residents: Emley (Treasurer) Remi (Chair)\, Jill \, Ellie\, Paul\, Sarah W\, Sarah H\, Isadora CM\, Kathy M\, \n  \nApologies from PM (resident) \n \nRemi (TRA Chair)\n\n\n\n \nApproval of minutes from last ETRA/community meeting 17.04.2026 – approved by: Sarah W & Jill \nNo comments\n\n\n\n\n2\nChanges to Hackney’s Neighbourhood Approach \n  \n \nEmley (TRA Treasurer)\n\n\n\n \nNew housing\, support and funding structure for Hackney TRAs \n  \nNew funding structure – all applied for together in one go\, Remi has done this for 2026-2027 and we have received the funds already (more on that later). \n  \nNew housing & support structure – All residents should have received a flyer ‘your new housing services’ which shows we are in the North-West neighbourhood team. Emley attended a webinar hosted by Oliur Raman and other Hackney staff last night (slides and recording will be shared). \nNew housing management structure aiming to resolve the longstanding issues – break down silos between Hackney teams\, focus on communication and getting issues resolved efficiently\, sharing knowledge across teams\, new triage system to ensure issue gets to the right team\, all issues logged and tracked by team\, culture change at Hackney with greater accountability. \nBrought in 2 new experts with background in repairs and systems \nOther TRAs all frustrated by same issues we are here \n  \nResidents to continue to report repairs etc directly to relevant teams but if not sure who to contact or ongoing issues contact the new triage team on 02083563330 or email neighbourhood@hackney.gov.uk \n  \nJune encouraged residents to feedback on how it’s going with the new system. Will take time to settle in but Hackney are open to feedback on how it is going. \n \n\n\n\n\n3\nHousing Issues\n\n\n\n\n \n·        Mosquito issue \nUKHSA has been investigating the increasing numbers of mosquitoes biting residents around this area. \n  \nReport not yet requested from UKHSA but June has walked around with them a few times. Previously flooded boiler area under Theobalds Court was suspected to be responsible\, pumps checked\, leak looked for but not found. After a few days of rain a pipe was dripping into the pit so that was investigated. Was some mosquito larvae in the boiler room but not enough to be causing the whole issue. UKHSA set traps in courtyards. When walking around there were lots of buckets and pots in the allotments full of water and mosquito larvae. Need communications sent out to all properties to encourage checking for standing water and eliminating breeding grounds. Boiler room area has been treated. People still getting bitten though. \nSarah  W reported that 2 out of 3 water butts in the allotment courtyard were full of water with larvae and mosquitoes. Sarah emptied and cleaned them out. The few others around the estate need to be checked. \nPossible issues with water collecting on balconies. \nUKHSA found water collecting in drains and larvae found there. UKHSA acting on all sites found \n  \n  \n·        Rubbish collection/cleaning issue \nBins not being collected on time\, bins not being rotated under chutes\, bin chambers not being cleaned properly\, sometimes bin cupboard locked so residents can’t access\, sometimes bins left outside of the cupboard so not collecting waste from the chutes. Chutes are still getting blocked. \nRecycling used to be collected twice a week\, now not even once a week\, builds up\, needs to be addressed. \n  \n(Raise with the new team) \n  \n  \n·        Fly tipping \nOngoing issues with fly tipping outside Bramfield Court bins and on the street outside Bramfield. Someone regularly leaves bags of used cat litter on the street near the recycling bins that ends up spread across the pavement. \n  \n  \n·        Cleaning \nOngoing issue with blocks not been moped properly and general substandard cleaning levels\, particularly in the older blocks. \n  \nWalkabout with Bernard in May. Highlighted some issues\, some have started to improve. June doing a handover for each block\, what issues ongoing that need to be followed up. \nStill no cleaning schedule\, requested\, will pass it on \nStill basic issues not being addressed. June has highlighted them and will pass onto new team. \n  \n  \n·        Repairs \nOngoing issues with general repairs and lifts. \n  \nBroken gate next to café/ Kimpton  ongoing– has to be closed manually (takes ages so often not closed by residents)\, door heavy\, hinge issue makes it resist being closed \n  \n  \nNew signs on playground saying children allowed to play until 9pm (put up by communal repairs team) \nThis summer so far kids have been mainly on play street and not causing any issues lately in the courtyards \n  \nMice in Sandon Court. Pest control visited block and ground floor properties. Plan for full block treatment. \n  \nBaby rats by the play street\, outside HS\, run through drainage tunnels for the trees. \n  \nMonthly inspections done to the end of June (by June Welcome and details being handed over to new team) \n  \nBike store issue has been addressed\, warnings given and later around 30 broken/abandoned bikes have been removed between 2 stores. 2 complaints that wrong bikes removed incorrectly but they have been resolved. June will hand over to the new team to monitor the situation moving forward and check other bike stores. \n  \n \nHackney representative: \nJune Welcome\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nHackney: Letter to be sent to residents asking not to have standing water on property \n  \nHackney: request UKHSA report \n  \nRemi: raise bin issue with new team \n  \n  \n  \nHackney: follow up with fly tipping issue on Queens Drive \n  \n  \n  \nHackney: Share cleaning schedule\, follow up with standards issues highlighted by June \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nHackney: address ongoing gate issue next to café \n  \nHackney: follow up re mice in Sandon and address rat issue on play street \n  \n \n\n\n4\nOther Issues Raised by Residents\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\nNew issues to be raised with Hackney\n\nMice in bin chute cupboard between Kelshall and Therfield courts \nFob access still broken to there \n  \nPlay street – lack of signage to show that it is a play street.

Emley/Jill/Kathy will bring it to Steering Group plus raise with Nnem and new team. Remi meeting with Ron regarding clarity around what is allowed on the Play Street – debated\, not Ron’s choice to make. \nIt is a play street and it’s not safe. \nPaul suggested staggered barriers to make bikes slow down.

Remi etc shout to tell the kids to come out but the site needs to be secure \nTheobalds chute blocked for months\, cleared for a few days\, but someone putting boxes in and keep blocking it. Now major fly issues causing problems in the flats nearby. Can residents be told how to use chutes or to close them. \n  \nLots of dust collecting in flats from the building works – they are spraying with water but maybe not effective. Not able to clean out of the carpet.

We also need a new Secretary in order to continue as a TRA. \nSo we are looking for new Chair and Secretary \nRemi is willing to continue to manage Youth and Emley willing to continue as Treasurer (though happy to hand over of anyone else wants it!!) but both need to reduce the workload of TRA management. \nSarah W possible volunteer \nNnem and Resident Participation team have volunteered to support us with recruiting residents and helping everyone understand what the TRA is\, what the benefits are and what we will lose if we don’t have involved residents to step into the key roles at the next AGM (currently planned for January). \n·        Funding update \nNew Hackney system – got the funding already for the 26/27 year.
