Our History
A Tenant Management Co-Operative is the highest form of tenant participation in which the tenants and leaseholders in a particular area or estate take on responsibility for the day-to-day management of their estate. The Council still owns the properties and tenants still remain their secure tenants.
Bancroft Tenant Management Cooperative was set up in 1992 by residents under the “Right to Manage” legislation 1994. It has taken over the management of caretaking, repairs, cleaning and general upkeep of the estate. The TMC was formed to ensure the highest level of attention is focused on the needs of the residents. The TMC has a committee which holds regular monthly meetings. The TMC board meetings are open to all member residents of the Estate. Membership of the TMC is also open to all residents upon payment of the 10 pence membership fee.
