What is Estate Management?

Estate Management was set up to help improve the social and physical environment in Council Estates.

Residents groups are encouraged to participate and be pro-active in the management of their own estates. Estate Officers work directly with Resident Associations, facilitate meetings, provide information, invite consultation and devise work programmes.

Estate Management deals only with Council Estates.

Mobile Caretaker for Aged and Disabled Tenants:

Mr. Blanc visits all our aged and disabled tenants in the County on a rotational basis, assess's their needs, if any and ensures their needs are met . Also the majority of our aged and/or disabled tenants live alone therefore it is important that Mr. Blanc calls on a regular basis as it means a lot to them to see a friendly face and to know someone cares enough to call. If you have any queries please ring 057 86 64000
