Fenwick Estate housing needs and equalities survey

Dear Resident, 

In April a letter was sent to you and your neighbours regarding a housing needs & equalities survey by Ottaway Strategic Management. A copy of this letter is saved within the document library on Commonplace. 

So far 69% of Fenwick Estate residents have responded to the survey. 

If you or your neighbours have not yet responded to the housing & equalities needs survey, Ottaway Strategic Management will be continuing to contact residents over the next ten days. 

Why is it important for Fenwick residents to complete the survey? 

When carrying out the Options Appraisal, an equalities impact assessment is the way the Council analyses the potential impact of something it is proposing, to make sure it is fair and does not discriminate against different groups of people. We want to identify different impacts on different people and to ensure fairness and equality for residents. The housing needs survey helps us make sure the council can consider residents’ housing needs – for example how many bedrooms a household requires which helps us to identify families that are overcrowded or under occupying.  

Kind regards
