Radius Housing Chief Executive John McLean said: “At Radius we know the value our tenants bring to the community. From those who brighten up the day with such wonderful gardens, to the neighbours who look out for each other and are always there to lend a hand.

“The Radius Heroes Awards are an important way to recognise the role that so many people have in making our schemes such great places to live, and we are delighted that we are able to recognise the efforts of so many people with our awards this year.

"We actually had more entries than ever before, and the judging panel had their work cut out to select winners, which shows the important impact our tenants and residents have on community life in Radius.”
