Let’s Recap!
Last month, we launched our new Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) group. Our Community Safety Officers delivered an informative session for customers on the various types of ASB, how cases are investigated, and the circumstances in which issues may be escalated to legal action. The team also outlined what customers can expect at each stage of the process and emphasised the importance of early reporting.
In addition, they explained how One Vision Housing works closely with partners, such as the police and local agencies, to help keep our neighbourhoods safe. Customers also reviewed an ASB case study and provided valuable feedback on how we can continue to improve our approach and outcomes in the future.
Rainbow Roofs
Rainbow Roofs continues to be a vibrant hub of support, creativity and connection for LGBTQ+ tenants across our communities.
Whether it is through peer led workshops, advocacy projects, or simply offering a safe space to be heard, Rainbow Roofs is helping tenants feel seen, valued and empowered.
Their recent initiatives have sparked meaningful conversations around inclusion and well-being, and their presence is a powerful reminder that housing isn’t just about buildings, it’s about belonging.

If you have a tenancy-related query and want to speak to a member of our Neighbourhood Services Team in person, then please feel free to visit one of our drop-in sessions for assistance.
