A model estate - architectural model maker creates a mirrored version of Basterfield House

Architectural modelmaker Maz Weineck has created a model of Basterfield House as a fundraiser for charity Article 25. Maz says, 'This year's theme for humanitarian architecture charity Article 25's 10x10 auction is reflections. I wanted to have some fun with the theme and experiment with using mirror within my art. I decided to use Basterfield House as inspiration after going on a tour of the Golden Lane estate and being shown one the building’s flats as part of Open house festival. I like the idea of making artwork celebrating iconic architecture that is also architecture that means a lot to people. Whilst walking around the estate it was clear how much of a community there was there and how important the development was for the residents. It felt fitting to use my craft skills to make this art because a wonderful thing I discovered at the community centre is…See More

Housing User Board

The Housing User Board, is group of residents who are willing to help Housing officers to develop new policies and review existing ones. Whilst we consult all residents on many issues, we felt it would be valuable to be able to explore things in more depth with people who were willing to give us more time. The Housing User Board is open to all residents on all our estates.

We understand that most people are too busy to attend lots of meetings, so we will offer a range of ways for HUB members to get involved. These will include:

  • Completing surveys on certain aspects of our services or policies. These would be more detailed that the general questionnaires we send to all residents;
  • Reading and giving us comments on specific documents;
  • One-off consultation events to discuss a specific policy or service change;
  • Time-limited working groups (i.e. 2-6 meetings only) to focus on the development or review of a specific policy or service.

HUB members can choose to be involved as many, or as few of these things as they wish.

The number of issues we bring to the HUB may change, depending on what is happening in the Housing Service and also on whether there are national changes we need to seek your views on. But it will always be up to members to choose whether to take part or not.

Members will earn Time Credits for any time they give us – one for each survey you complete or document you comment on and two for each meeting you attend. Time Credits can be used to pay for lots of different activities such as going to some cinemas and theatres, using leisure centres or going to visitor attractions in London. Information about Time Credits can be found here. We can also provide a printed version of the Time Credits booklet if needed.

We will send you information by email in the first instance. We will make this as accessible as possible. If a HUB member doesn’t have access to email or needs the information in print, if they let us know we will arrange for hard copies to be sent to them.

To join the HUB, please provide the following details to community.engagement@cityoflondon.gov.uk:

  • Name
  • Address
  • Email address if you have one

Hope this information is helpful to you and please do get back to us, if you would like to join the HUB group.

Kindest regards,

Community Engagement Team
