Who we are

We are an Arms Length Management Organisation (or ALMO for short). 
We have a 10 year management agreement with Shropshire Council to manage the homes, tenancies and neighbourhoods of the Council houses, flats, bungalows and garages in the Oswestry and Bridgnorth area.

Our role includes collecting rent, ordering repairs and making improvements to all housing. But Shropshire Council still owns all the homes

Shropshire Council pays Shropshire Towns and Rural Housing a fee to manage the housing.

We were set up in 2013 and are a Shropshire Council owned company.
