The company exists to represent and promote the interests of residents and lease holders living in the Carriageworks development. This is achieved through working with the estate management company, freeholder of the development, local businesses and law enforcement to ensure that quality of life on the development is upheld and advanced. In the financial year 2024-2025, the company has: Fielded complaints from residents regarding local business’ practice and engaged with the businesses to bring about some resolution satisfactory to all parties. This included complaints around noise, entry of commercial vehicles into pedestrian space and the securing of gates properly by staff to maintain site security. Organised a summer party in cooperation with local businesses to benefit residents. Engaged with the estate management company to expedite works that were deemed critical to resident quality of life including around hazardous waste removal, calling out of repairmen to fix gates and doors that were broken and contractors to identify and fix the source of water ingress in buildings within the development. Created a website for residents to access key information around development news and information. Worked with law enforcement to identify anti-social and criminal behaviour and put a plan in place to discourage said behaviour in the future. Negotiated with the freeholder of the development to fund key building improvements affecting quality of life and security of residents and the local community.

The stakeholders are those who are leaseholders or tenants in the Carriageworks development including Anderson House, Beckford House, Bradley House and the Carriageworks building. It also applies to businesses who are leaseholders on the development. We conducted an Annual General Meeting on 27th April 2024. Residents were given advance notice via email, public signage and group chat messages in order to spread awareness of the event. In the meeting, we explained what we had achieved and sought to achieve in the coming year and also provided an opportunity for residents to vote on the membership of the board. Attendance was open to all residents of the development and a anonymous ballot was conducted to ensure a fair voting process. In addition to the AGM, we also set up an email account which residents can use to communicate with the Carriageworks committee members. The email can be used for complaints, suggestions or questions residents might have. This provides a direct channel for residents voices to be heard and channeled into the committee’s governance.
