RBH chief executive Amanda Newton met with Rochdale council leader Neil Emmott, Coun Meredith, and Conservative Group leader Coun John Taylor last week to discuss the changes and raise concerns.
Amanda Newton, RBH chief executive, said: "In December 2022, the Regulator for Social Housing downgraded RBH’s governance to a non-compliant G3 grade. This required us to work in agreement with the regulator to address a number of issues to improve our position. "Members of the Society voted in favour of the changes by the required two-thirds majority. We’ve put in place more ways for customers to get involved and have a say in how we’re run and how we deliver services. We have a new plan for engaging customers from across all areas which includes things like customer voice forums, which give people a chance to tell us what’s going on in their community.
