Karbon Homes are developing new ways to connect with their tenants and are keen to spread the word. They want to share information about what they do as a company and how they are performing so that their tenants are better informed as well as finding out what is going on in communities and finding about the issues their tenants face - not on an individual basis (they have other routes for that) but on an area basis. What issues do Karbon residents in Haltwhistle face?
