What is Parkway Green?

We manage homes in Baguley, Brooklands, Newall Green, Northenden, Northern Moor.

Parkway Green Housing Trust is a not-for-profit 'local housing company' that took ownership of 6,000 Wythenshawe homes from Manchester City Council in October 2006.

See maps of our area.

Council tenants in the area voted overwhelmingly for the change in a ballot in November 2005. The proposal document they voted on describes the role of Parkway Green in detail.

Independent body

Parkway Green was created by tenants' reps and the City Council to deliver an exciting package of home improvements, and top-notch housing services - like ordering repairs and collecting rent. It's a completely separate and independent body; although it works in partnership with the council on many issues - like tackling antisocial behaviour.

Parkway Green has access to multi-million pound resources to pay for vital improvements to bring all housing to the government's 'decent homes' standard -and beyond. See Home Improvements.

Who runs Parkway Green?

A board of 15 volunteers makes the policies and plans for Parkway Green, setting its wider aims and objectives and making sure that the staff working day-to-day are meeting standards of service.

There are five 'tenant board members'. They have equal decision-making power with the five board members nominated by the Council - councillors and senior staff - and with the five - 'independent' board members who are people with specialist knowledge. Meet the board.
