Broadland tenant for 40+ years

As part of our 60th birthday year celebrations, our Chief Executive Michael Newey recently met one of the tenants who has been with us the longest.

Rita Bugg has lived in her Broadland home in Norwich for 43 years. She was one of the first tenants to move onto the scheme when it was new in 1980. Rita brought up her daughter there, and she is now a grandmother and great-grandmother.

Rita said: “When I moved in, there was a real sense of community and I knew all my neighbours. Today I’m one of the oldest tenants on the scheme and I don’t get out and about as much to get to know everyone, but I have really lovely neighbours. Broadland has always been an excellent landlord. I’m very grateful for my home.”
