Maidstone Residents Group
Maidstone Residents Group (MRG) is a group of people, made up from Tenants and Residents Associations and Tenant Representatives in the Maidstone area. The group meet every other month, at different community venues.
MRG are very involved in every aspect of the Trust's service provision. They organise the Annual Tenants Open Event, sit on contract panels and act as a consultative body for the Trust on new policies.
