What the notice says
St Helens Council are looking to encourage, social landlords, providers of social housing and possibly care providers with available accommodation to attend an engagement event to allow the council to communicate their market position on housing with care and the objectives they are looking to achieve over the next few years within the borough of St Helens.
There is a short questionnaire attached that we would like providers to complete prior to the event. The council would like an understanding of who is attending and what properties are available.
The engagement event is to be held at St Helens Town Hall, Assembly Hall Victoria Avenue, St Helens WA10 6PA and will run from 10.30-12.30pm on the 11th November.
