Belle Isle Tenant Managament Organisation (BITMO) is a locally based organisation, run by tenants of Belle Isle estate. BITMO is responsible for managing Leeds City Council’s housing and estate management services in the Belle Isle neighbourhood of Leeds. It is the largest estate based TMO in the country.
Belle Isle has, for nearly a quarter of a century, been at the fore front of resident led service delivery In Leeds. This began in the late 1980s with Belle Isle North Estate Management Board.
Nearly 15 years later, in 2004, BITMO was founded following the conclusion of the 'Right to Manage'process which included an extension of the management area, to encompass the Belle Isle South estate. A successful ballot of all tenants in the management area supported this change.
This estate ballot was repeated in September 2009and delivered a resounding confirmation that BITMO continued to meet with tenant satisfaction and should continue; over 90% of those who voted said they wanted BITMO to continue.
In line with BITMO's management agreement with Leeds City Council this ballot will be repeated every 5 years.
