Welcome to Pembroke Estate Management Board Ltd

Please scroll down the page to find out more about us
  • We have been managing and maintaining the social housing on the Pembroke Street estate via a partnership
    agreement and devolved budget from the Landlord, Plymouth Community Homes for over 30 years.
  • Services are delivered from an accessible estate office.
  • We also offer projects and services for all ages which help to maintain a strong sense of community and help people overcome challenges and achieve their potential.
  •  We are a community interest company (CIC) formed by local residents to transform the
    Pembroke Street estate in Devonport from a forgotten, run down and crime ridden ‘no go’
    area into a modern, welcoming and well-run estate.
  •  We are the only Tenant Management Organisation (TMO) in the South West of England. There are other TMO’s in London and the Midlands.
  • Pembroke EMB was one of the first Social Enterprises in Plymouth, having been incorporated
    as a ‘not for profit’ company in 1994.
  • We kick-started the regeneration of Devonport in the 1990’s. The work by residents to
    redesign their estate and take on the management from Plymouth City Council, was unique.
  • This led into further regeneration work, culminating with a 10 year Government regeneration
    programme which saw parts of the former Devonport Dockyard brought back into
    community use for housing as the area underwent large scale demolition and rebuild.
  • Residents who live on the Pembroke Street estate are members of the company and
    are eligible to be voted on to the Board of Directors.
  • Consistently positive feedback from residents with continued high levels of
    engagement.
  • Significant increase in average tenancy duration, with associated cost savings and
    improved quality of life made possible from having a settled community who treat
    one another with respect and consideration.
  • Big reductions in crime and anti social behaviour due to preventative maintenance,
    early interventions and an on-site presence.
  • A sustainable community with a wide range of additional services offered.
  • Improved community health and wellbeing, made possible with additional youth
    and community work services which complement the housing management work.
  • Proven value for money approach with residents given genuine decision making
    powers and control over budgets.
