  1. MILTON KEYNES TENANTS GROUP MEETING ACORN HOUSE Wednesday 27th July 2011

  2. REGENERATION Objectives of this session: • To hear about a council service which actively and successfully encourages participation from tenants • To understand the reasons behind the increase in tenants/residents involvement and whether lessons can be learned for the wider benefit of Milton Keynes. • What is Regeneration? What does it mean to individual tenants living in different parts M.K.?

  3. CONTEXT • Outcomes from last years regeneration session • Objectives from Tenants Planning Group Meeting on 15th June and two key themes emerging: • What is regeneration? • The importance and value of tenants who spend time in improving services and communities • Relevance of this session to all tenants whether or not they live in one of the 6 x priority estates or 19 priority neighbourhoods identified in the councils regeneration strategy

  4. LET’S LOOK AT • Are expectations of tenants too high! • What was said last year • Why is it difficult to get tenants to participate?

  5. Extract from last years issues: • Some residents felt they were being expected to ‘run before they can walk’. Need to work at the right pace. • Meetings should be run twice – once during the day and again in the evening – to maximise attendance. • Too much reliance on the internet – not everyone has it! • Verbal communication is best.

  6. MKC Tenants Group Planning Session 15th June 2011 • How to get interest from the community • Importance of the timing of events • Networking time lost through new Tenants Engagement Framework • What has MKC learnt? • What is Regeneration? • ‘Hackney Shop’ example of good communication with residents

  7. Continued……….Tenants Group Planning Session • Importance of good communication between those working in an area, Council and residents and also between residents/volunteers. • Perception from outside is that the framework/structures for engagement are good. From inside, they could be considerably improved. • Importance of tenants who spend time contributing to improving their neighbourhoods/communities. • How are we supporting individuals/groups and is it enough? • Example of a successful volunteering group – successes, how difficulties have been overcome, blueprint for success?

  8. INTRODUCTION TO ANGUS AND TEAM • Picture?

  9. PUT YOUR THINKING CAPS ON • What one main thing would you like to see which would enhance your contribution? • What are the others? • What do you think stops or puts off tenants becoming involved? • Where about in Milton Keynes do you live and what does ‘regeneration’ mean to you?

  10. MILTON KEYNES TENANTS GROUP THANK YOU FOR TAKING PART
