Another great visit with housing colleagues Newcastle City Council today we did an estate walk around in Cowgate. We also had an impromptu visit to Cowgate community centre & enjoyed meeting partners Newcastle Community Asset Trust (NCAT) & hearing about the great community programmes they run.


An enjoyable visit to West Denton this morning and grateful to councillors who were able to join us. I was also excited to see the progress of the new bungalows that Newcastle City Council are building in the area.

A great visit to AngelouCentre yesterday with my Newcastle City Council colleague Alice Wiseman. We heard some phenomenal stories of survival from a group of truly inspirational women.

Great to hear what’s on the mind of our Newcastle City Council residents & the important role that our customer voice group have in this. Besides I’m always excited to talk about how we are Getting to Know our residents and how we’re improving our housing stock!
