Welcome to Pembroke Estate Management Board Ltd
Please scroll down the page to find out more about us
- We have been managing and maintaining the social housing on the Pembroke Street estate via a partnership
agreement and devolved budget from the Landlord, Plymouth Community Homes for over 30 years. - Services are delivered from an accessible estate office.
- We also offer projects and services for all ages which help to maintain a strong sense of community and help people overcome challenges and achieve their potential.
- We are a community interest company (CIC) formed by local residents to transform the
Pembroke Street estate in Devonport from a forgotten, run down and crime ridden ‘no go’
area into a modern, welcoming and well-run estate. - We are the only Tenant Management Organisation (TMO) in the South West of England. There are other TMO’s in London and the Midlands.
- Pembroke EMB was one of the first Social Enterprises in Plymouth, having been incorporated
as a ‘not for profit’ company in 1994. - We kick-started the regeneration of Devonport in the 1990’s. The work by residents to
redesign their estate and take on the management from Plymouth City Council, was unique. - This led into further regeneration work, culminating with a 10 year Government regeneration
programme which saw parts of the former Devonport Dockyard brought back into
community use for housing as the area underwent large scale demolition and rebuild.
- Residents who live on the Pembroke Street estate are members of the company and
are eligible to be voted on to the Board of Directors. - Consistently positive feedback from residents with continued high levels of
engagement. - Significant increase in average tenancy duration, with associated cost savings and
improved quality of life made possible from having a settled community who treat
one another with respect and consideration. - Big reductions in crime and anti social behaviour due to preventative maintenance,
early interventions and an on-site presence. - A sustainable community with a wide range of additional services offered.
- Improved community health and wellbeing, made possible with additional youth
and community work services which complement the housing management work. - Proven value for money approach with residents given genuine decision making
powers and control over budgets.
