Bill Rogers - VICE CHAIR
I am proud to have been born and bred in Blackpool and have been a Council Tenant all my life. Since 2004 I have been a committee member of my local Tenants Association and have become heavily involved in Tenant issues from repairs to maintenance planning, community awareness and involvement, tenant participation for all. I have acquired a knowledge and understanding of the needs and aspirations of the tenants and leaseholders of not only my own area but throughout Blackpool.
I started my working life an apprentice bricklayer with a local company and moved into the leisure industry, working for a multinational company and becoming the Assistant Maintenance Manager for the North West. My experience enables me to communicate easily at all levels.
As a Director of Blackpool Coastal Housing I am fully committed to improving the housing stock and the service to its customers. |

Alison Stringer
I was born in Blackpool and have been a council Tenant all my life. I am a member of Grange Park Residents Association, The Tenant Liaison Forum and The Area Forums. I am also a Parent Governor at Layton Primary School.
Through being involved with these various groups I already have a link with the tenants and leaseholders and I am used to attending meetings and making decisions with local authorities and organisations that provide a service to the community. This not only gives me a chance to put something back into my home town, but is also a challenging and productive use of my time. I feel that by being a Tenant Director on The ALMO Board I can take my involvement in helping the community further. |

Doreen Wightman - CHAIR
I have been a Blackpool Tenant since 1984 and became a leaseholder in 2003. In 2000 we started our local Tenants Association to work with the Council to improve our homes and community. As the chairperson of our group I have worked hard to get an insight into tenant needs and an understanding of council run social housing. I believe in the importance of tenant and leaseholder involvement in managing our homes.
I work full time for a local charity and feel this gives me a good insight into the governance of not for profit organisations. My working life has given me the experience in dealing with people, finance, human resources, employment law and marketing.
As a Director of Blackpool Coastal Housing I want to ensure it becomes a viable company and one which will work to achieve the best it can for its tenants and leaseholders.
There is currently one Customer Director vacancy on the Board |
