TWO new tenancy management officers are now operating in Blackbird Leys and Greater Leys, Oxford City Council has said.

Nichola Griffiths, a former housing officer for A2Dominion, and Rhiannon Jones have now taken up their posts covering council-owned properties on the estate.

They replace long-standing former employee Adrian Stone, who is leaving for a new post in London. The council said he would be "remembered for the excellent work he did locally."
