Life is going to get much more exciting in the coming months for people living around the Heeley Common area. This is because the all new TARA has just been set up by a group of volunteer committee members. We’re tenants and residents just like you who live locally and who are already buzzing with ideas to make it a better place for everyone to live.
Although it used to be called the Heeley Common TARA, we thought the new name of Heeley Rise would give us a fresh start. It represents the rise up to the top of the hill with its glorious views all around. We decided to get going because we knew there were things we can do to make life better for us all.
To help us achieve this, we would like people to get involved. We want to hear your thoughts and ideas, and start to do good things with your levy money from Sheffield Homes. Did you know that when you add up all the 10p’s that you pay each week into the tenants levy, it all adds up to £1,617.20 each year, and that’s without the grant money we can claim.
To do things right, we have to make sure we represent your views! We have to bring tenants and residents together by doing a regular newsletter and getting people involved in activities, such as tree planting, trips out and anything else that people think of.
We will be campaigning as a local group around issues to do with housing, anti-social behaviour, crime and activities, all helping to bring the whole community together. We are a small group of volunteers and we will struggle to do new things without your help. So why not come along, get involved and get your views heard? Together, we can all make our area in Heeley a better place to live.
