Abbey Court

Abbey Court Residents Meeting

We hold regular residents meetings for all customers living in high-rise buildings. These meetings take place every three months to give you an opportunity to connect with us in person.

This is your chance to discuss the latest updates regarding your building (including planned work and safety advice), to share your thoughts and concerns, and to fear about community events and projects in your area.

We'll send you a letter inviting you to the meeting for your building, which will also include the discussion agenda.
