Local decisions

Area panels

Northwards Housing covers 13,000 homes over a wide area. But it maintains its strong local connections through its three 'area panels'. You are welcome to come to our meetings and can ask to speak.

Each panel has seven Northwards tenants, two owner-occupiers, one leaseholder, and a councillor from each of the wards in its area. The panels are

1. Wilton : Higher Blackley; Crumpsall; and Cheetham wards

2. Fourways : Charlestown; and Moston wards

3. Riverways : Harpurhey; Newton Heath & Miles Platting; and Ancoats & Clayton wards

What do they do?

The panels have decision-making powers to reflect the needs of local communities. They consult local people and give information and advice, and make suggestions to the main Northwards board. They recommend improvement schemes after consulting local tenants.

Panels help engage all sections of the community - membership reflects the make-up of the different communities area each panel represents.
