PAULINE TINSLEY
Pauline was involved in social housing as a volunteer for three years when she served on the North East Lincolnshire Borough Wide Tenants’ Assembly. She has been involved in all aspects of housing from repairs and maintenance to policy development. In 2002 she obtained her National Certificate in Tenant Participation and she has brought these skills and knowledge to the Shoreline Board.
MICHELLE EDGE
Michelle was born in Grimsby and brought up in Edge Avenue in Scartho. She's been a tenant for twenty-nine years, twenty-four of which have been on the Bradley Park estate where she still lives. Having three children and caring for her elderly parents, an interest in social awareness and tenants rights culminated in a change of policy with her then landlord, North East Lincolnshire Council, regarding a health and safey issue.
Since the transfer of the housing stock to Shoreline, Michelle has been involved in mystery shopping and attending various service review panels.
Michelle applied to become a tenant Board member through Shoreline's community voice and was elected at the annual general meeting in September 2009.
