Following our community meeting about the future of the Stewardship Scheme, we have begun work on re-designing the Stewardship Scheme. We have 3 working groups which are
Group 1 Delivery of Stewardship and Charges – Strategic Objectives
1. To shape the current and future stewardship offer to Lawley residents.
2. Identify concerns with regard to services and covenants, complaints and enforcement, including practices and procedures in the Stewardship contract
3. Develop ideas on how to develop service and covenant delivery, which meets the reasonable aspirations of residents
4. Clarify service charge expenditure, collection and how residents may influence potential spend of service charges
5. Develop and improve transparency and information flow on service charges and expenditure for all residents
Group 2 Establish effective working relationship with the Development Group - Strategic Objectives:
1. To develop a service level agreement with Lawley Developers, which is considered good practice for “large scale development with residents” from start on site, to handover of sites, which enable stewardship to take early control of matters which are important to residents
2. Clarify accountabilities of Homes England and Developers during the development and retained responsibilities for Lawley, including how residents and stewardship services can influence this, through meaningful engagement
3. To develop ideas for a living map of stewardship
4. To increase transparency on all communications and management of resident expectations
Group 3 Community Development and Involvement - Strategic Objectives
1. To shape the current and develop the future community involvement offer for residents of Lawley Village
2. To define the “Heart of Lawley” offer through local amenities, businesses and public spaces, which meets the aspirations of Lawley residents
3. To consider options for short, mid and long-term governance structures and alternative democratic processes for local influence, dedicated staffing and local control of resources
