Springs Tenant Management Co-operative

Springs Tenant Management Committee (TMC) was established under the Right to Manage in 1995 and the Tenant Management Organisation took on management responsibilities from Bury MBC on 1st July 1996.

We have over 300 properties in three discreet areas. One third of the properties was built in the 1930's with the remaining dwellings being built between 1950 and 1970. There is also a small estate of elderly persons dwellings which were built in 1974.

The majority of our properties are two storey, cottage type flats of one, two and three bedroom size. There are only around a dozen 3 bedroomed houses for rent, as a result of the Right to Buy.

The TMC employs its own professional staff which includes an Estate Director, a Housing Officer, a Financial Services Officer, Community Development Worker, and a part time Estate Handyman. The Committee itself consists of both tenant and independent members which includes Redvales 3 ward councillors.

The Co-op is responsible for all management duties, including rent collection,voids management, rent accounting, letting, day to day repairs and maintenance inspections, job ordering and invoice management. Bury MBC is responsible for all major repairs works and capital maintenance contracts such as gas servicing and grounds maintenance. Six Town Housing is the liaison point for any capital works required.

There is an estate based office, open five days a week and out of hours repairs are covered by an emergency monitoring service.
