Wokingham Resident Resource Centre Opens

A new Resident Resource Centre in Targett Court, Winnersh is now providing a real boost to tenants and residents, providing advice, guidance and support, as well as a direct link to Wokingham Borough Council’s tenant involvement team.

The centre celebrated its official opening on Wednesday March 21, 2012 with tenants, local residents, councillors and tenant services staff taking a look at the recently refurbished facility. The new resource centre will act as a community hub, providing a venue for tenant meetings as well as rent and housing surgeries. The centre is now also home to the council’s tenant involvement team.

Wokingham Borough Council has many ‘involved tenants’ – volunteer tenants who work with the council to improve the quality of service for all tenants in the borough. The new centre will provide a base for them, as well as a venue for ongoing training and tenant involvement activities and events.

The resource centre is open between 10am and 3pm Monday to Friday. Residents can report any community issues to the centre, for instance fly-tipping, abandoned vehicles and faulty street-lighting, as well as visit the tenant involvement team for advice and support.
