The Board
Welcome to “Meet The Board”. All our Board members are volunteers and give Bushbury Hill the benefit of their experiences of living on or around the estate for most of their lives. We are fortunate enough to have many characters on our Board who will stand up for the rights of tenants in Wolverhampton, irrelevant of where they live. Many of the “Suit Brigade” from “The Big House” have been left shaking in their boots after trying to tell our Board they can not have improvements for the estate. Definitely not a group to be messed with where tenant’s rights are concerned!!
