@BeeNetwork @AndyBurnhamGM The conversion of the Bolton depot staff car park into bus charging points is causing misery and chaos for local residents. Staff parking blocks the surrounding residential streets and they even park in private parking spaces. Inconsiderate.

[Regulator of Social Housing @RSHEngland]

We have today published regulatory judgements for ten landlords. Read the latest judgements here: https://t.co/BSjCnMrPCD

@ProfDonnaHall @GrenfellUnited And housing providers contribute to the problem by constantly referring to tenants as having complex needs. Sure, some do but I’m sick of hearing it used to label everyone as somehow deficient.

[South Manchester Tenants Union @SouthMcrTenants]

Call for @SouthwayHousing to meet with our member and their GMTU reps to draw up a timeline for action on disrepair, accessibility and pest control. Read our member's story below and share widely!

[Julie Ralph @Julie_Ralph_]

@ProfDonnaHall @HayleyHulme I’ve worked with a few of them unfortunately.

[Julie Ralph @Julie_Ralph_]

@tomemurtha It’s beyond belief given the supposed scrutiny the sector is under. How bad does it have to get?

[Julie Ralph @Julie_Ralph_]

@HRRBFireSafety That’s useful and timely, I’ve just made an account. Thanks for sharing.

@Simplicitly And they wonder why disrepair claims companies are everywhere.

[Julie Ralph @Julie_Ralph_]

@Simplicitly I agree and I’m watching to see if this network of like minded people find a good alternative. Then I’ll follow.

[Julie Ralph @Julie_Ralph_]

@gmclh1 Have you seen this already?

[Peg Alexander @TVRadioPeg]

So looking forward to running this session for @communitylibs @PaulKelly1000

Relevent for anyone who works in a community organisation and group and wants to think about how to get better reach and response to your social media.

Another day, another political attack on workers from the Tories.

Manchester has over 7,500 staff. We are proud to recognise trade unions. A happy workforce delivers better services.

Boring distraction tactics from a Government knee deep in controversy and lacking direction.

[Tom Murtha. Retired. @tomemurtha]

I do not wish to criticise any individual working for a housing association. But I saw a tweet from a customer services person yesterday, the tone of which showed why so many tenants are critical of how they are treated by their landlord. No empathy, no understanding, no help.

[Julie Ralph @Julie_Ralph_]

@NGoodrichHsg Just awful. I think stigma plays a part, that culture of superiority. Even in the context of community led housing I've experienced poor service and gaslighting, then seen how the focus shifts from poor performance to how demanding and difficult the tenants are. I'm weary of it.

[Julie Ralph @Julie_Ralph_]

@LeslieChannon Very sad news, and at a time when tenants need all the allies they can get.

[UniteHousingWorkers @UniteHousing]

One in five London housing staff set to leave by end of year "Housing officers said they are under significant pressure without the proper support and resources" Read more: https://t.co/ZFvv35S9S2

@HRRBFireSafety @tomemurtha @insidehousing @natfednews @CIHhousing @Kwajotweneboa Thanks Phil. Living in a housing co-op gives us more power and control than most tenants, but it’s still draining. I feel for those who aren’t being heard.
