Start a TRA

A Tenants and Residents Association (TRA) is a group of people who get together to discuss issues that may be affecting the area where they live. Some TRAs focus on housing issues, such as repairs and maintenance, whilst others might have an interest in other community issues, such as the environment or crime.

A TRA gives residents more say in how their estate is run and allows them to work with their landlord to find solutions to problems affecting their area.

Being part of a TRA has its advantage as they can organise events and activities for all residents to enjoy, helping residents to get to know each other, developing good community spirit, building positive working relationships with groups that have an interest of where they live.  Moreover, it gives the TRA a sense of achievement.
