Working For The People Of Haddonhall Estate

HADDONHALL RESIDENT'S TMO

Built in 1979, the estate comprises 169 dwellings of which about a third are now owned by leaseholders and freeholders.

The estate comes under Southwark’s Borough and Bankside Housing Area and it geographically straddles Weston Street to the North; Rothsay Street to the East; Tabard Street to the West; and the Bricklayers Arms roundabout (Old Kent Road) to the South.

Haddonhall is located in the North East of the London Borough of Southwark, just off the Bricklayers Arms roundabout.

The Elephant and Castle, London Bridge and Tower Bridge are all close by, highlighting the estates proximity to excellent transport facilities and central London.

As an organisation, the TMO has undergone significant change over the last few years. In 2004 we re-launched the TMO in order to inject new drive and to allow a group of committed local residents the opportunity to keep alive the tradition of tenant management on the estate which stretches back to 1983 when the estate was run by a Tenant Management Co-operative.

Our Vision

Haddonhall Residents TMO is committed to working for the people of Haddonhall Estate in order to provide excellent services and improve the quality of life for residents through resident management and community empowerment.

We will achieve this by:

• Providing the best housing service possible for our residents
• Improving the estate and homes of our residents
• Undertaking projects and initiatives which will benefit local people
• Working with other groups and the council  to improve a wide range of services for residents

• Acting as a voice for the residents of the estate

We will do this by ensuring we continue to communicate, consult and involve all members of the community in the TMO and local decision making.

Our Community

At the heart of the TMO is our community.

While finding members of the community who are willing to sit on the management board can be difficult each day of the week neighbours are helping each other and looking out for one another.

We have a number of social activities going on at regular intervals, from the regular bingo club, coffee mornings and internet suite to less frequent activities such as our quiz nights, race nights and film nights. We run activities every day between Christmas and New Year so no one needs to feel isolated or alone during what can be a particularly lonely period.
