Working party points System

The working parties and points has been put in place to ensure that all tenants contribute towards running the society. Now that the council are responsible for nothing other than repairing the banks of the stream. Everything else is down to the society. At the start of self managing the society had two options 1 get all work done by contractors or 2 do it ourselves.

option 1 may look attractive but funding this method would require the plots rents to go to a silly level (maybe up to £1000 pounds).

We decided to use option 2 we are lucky enough to have the skills on site to be able to do this.

Note

  Points cannot be carried forward to next year and please don't think that once you have reached 16 you will not get asked to assist in more projects Some of you as seen from the chart below have very few points. Ella (Alex), Ryan. Ali, Hainric, Leroy Michael Ashley etc.. There will be an opportunity for you to take part in construction jobs commencing at the end of September.

The rest of tenants will be invited to help move green waste, trim hedges and help Deb prepare the wildlife area's for winter and any other tasks that require doing i.e painting etc.

So it is easy and trackable to keep a check on points earned, please use the button at the bottom of page to enter your points.The notification is automatically sent to the Secretary, the tenants liaison and myself for the record. list of jobs will be added to the working party and projects page.
