πŸšπŸ’š SLT goes out and about in Hallgarth in new SLH 100% Electric Vans!

This week, members of South Lakes Housing’s Senior Leadership Team visited the Hallgarth Estate in Kendal, meeting residents face-to-face and hearing directly about what matters most to them. As part of the visit, the team travelled in SLH’s new electric vans, supporting our commitment to reducing our environmental impact while continuing to deliver services across our communities. 😊

These visits are a great opportunity to listen, learn and strengthen relationships with residents, ensuring their voices help shape the services we provide.

Thank you to everyone who stopped to chat with us. It was fantastic to hear your feedback and discuss what's important in your neighbourhood. 🏑
