community inspector/champion scheme
Merton Council's cabinet approved Clarion Housing's community ambassador scheme in November 2025, aiming to improve resident engagement.
Merton Council's cabinet approved Clarion Housing's community ambassador scheme in November 2025, following recommendations from the Sustainable Communities Scrutiny Panel. The scheme is set to be trialled in Merton, aiming to improve engagement with residents on estates that do not have existing tenant or resident associations. This initiative is designed to complement, not duplicate, current community efforts.
The community ambassador scheme, which allows community inspectors/champions to bring communal estate issues and individual resident concerns to Clarion's attention, focuses specifically on estates lacking formal resident groups. Clarion Housing is now set to trial this scheme. No further meetings are currently scheduled to discuss its implementation or progress.
