About
What are we?
A tenants and residents association.
In September 2000 a community meeting was held , which outlined the situation of the ward and the attitudes of the inhabitants through a questionnaire to all homes. Having had the backing of all present at that meeting, a community group was formed and adopted the title Monkton voice. A constitution was adopted in February 2001. An action plan was drawn up in June 2001 Followed by the extensive SHARP project which ended in 2004.
