Southway Housing Trust is a 'not-for-profit' 'local housing company' that took ownership of 5,900 homes from Manchester City Council in November 2007. We manage and improve homes in Burnage, Chorlton, Didsbury and Withington. Council tenants in these areas voted for the change in a ballot in February 2007. Southway was created by tenants' reps and the City Council to deliver an exciting package of home improvements, and top-notch housing services. It's a completely separate and independent body; although it works in partnership with the council on many issues - like tackling antisocial behaviour. We have access to multi-million pound resources to pay for vital improvements to bring all housing to the government's 'decent homes' standard - and beyond. A board of 12 volunteers makes the policies and plans for Southway, setting our wider aims and objectives and making sure that the staff working day-to-day meet standards of service. There are four 'tenant board members'. They have equal decision-making power with the four board members nominated by the Council - councillors and senior staff - and with the four - 'independent' board members who are people with specialist knowledge. Many people who work for Southway are ex-Manchester City Council staff who were transferred automatically to the new organisation. They are joined by brand new staff who add new skills and ideas to the solid base of local knowledge and experience.
