Hey @homebox_uk you may have made bill paying easy, but you haven't made it easy to contact you in an emergency. An energy company have issued seven day court action warning for a year's worth of unpaid gas, but we paid you for the gas. It sounds like you didn't make the switch.
And @homebox_uk we've emailed and sent a Whatsapp but you say it may take you days to respond. We don't have days to wait! Can you advise please?
Many thanks to the @natfednews for allowing us to share our thoughts on what should be in the #planforhousing. Regeneration is an important response to the housing crisis in some parts of the country and we need to make sure it doesn't get lost in the debate.
"For too long housing associations and local authorities have had to piece together bits of funding to do what they can to create not just great homes, but places where people want to live."

ALT “If the government can be persuaded to think long-term and outside of departmental silos, then we have a chance at convincing them that regeneration should be a key feature of their Housing Strategy and an important response to the housing crisis in many parts of the country.” - Catherine Ryder, Chief Executive
The best bit about working for @placeshapers is getting out and about and seeing the work of our members first hand so it was great to kick off the new year hearing about the creativity and commitment of @weareconnexus and learning about rural housing - placeshapers.org/commitment-….

Really chuffed to be speaking at the @PlaceShapers Annual Conference. We’ll be discussing how can we realise the opportunities of a place-based approach to housing. Joining me on the panel chaired by @CatherineRyder are @AhsanKhan_wf & @victordacuhna
New funding for affordable homes is very welcome, but it would good to see some ambition on regeneration too. Great to share some thoughts with @insidehousing today. #placeshapers #budget2024 #ukhousing

I had a great day in Liverpool, learning more about Speke and Garston and the work of South Liverpool Homes.
Defining what makes up place-shaping....harder than it sounds.
"But you know it when you see it" says @CatherineRyder in a new #PlaceShapers blog.
Thank you South Liverpool Homes for sharing your place-shaping approach.
🐝Honey was a lovely surprise.

A massive welcome to @PioneerGroup_ to #PlaceShapers. Pioneer are an organisation deeply committed to place and we can't wait to work with them to achieve our vision of putting place-shaping at the heart of decision-making.

Great thread from Nick. Completely agree with the point about mopping up every £ of funding and getting organisations together at a local level to bring what they can and crack on. #PlaceShapers.
🧵 1/8 Yesterday was a good day for housing. Lots of steps forward - although the number that were really just 'reversing decisions' is sobering. As a statement of intent @AngelaRayner has emphatically shifted the agenda. Here's the 'but'
Great to be part of this conversation and some brilliant insights from the other panellists. Thanks to @insidehousing for inviting me and @martinhilditch for the excellent hosting and chairing.

Early start to get to Bristol for our second Leaders Event. Looking forward to a day with members discussing the General Election, Consumer Standards and changing housing need.
A brilliant day with @GlosCityHomes and a lesson for me in northern sayings that never made it as far as the south coast (cracking the flags...)
Our Chair @MatthewLeedsFed blogs about a recent visit to #newmember @GlosCityHomes

Great to have the opportunity to share my view on the new government and how realising the potential of devolution could help solve the unique housing challenges every area faces.
