Manningham Housing Association shuts down X account

Manningham Housing Association (MHA) has closed its account on X, formerly known as Twitter.

In a statement, a spokesperson for MHA – which manages more than 1,400 homes for over 6,000 residents in Bradford and Keighley – said:

“Following a review of our internal and external communications strategy, we have decided to withdraw from X.

“We provide a myriad of ways for our customers to contact us across a range of digital platforms.

“Our online offer has recently been extended following the launch of an exciting new website including a chatbot facility.

“Interactions with our customer base on X were minimal.

“It also cannot be ignored that the general content on the platform is often prejudicial, racist and deeply unpleasant.

“This does not fit with the values of MHA, which made the decision to close our account the logical and responsible conclusion.

“No further comment on this matter will be made.”

Notes to editors

About Manningham Housing Association Manningham Housing Association (MHA) has a proud track record of delivering homes and services to communities in Bradford and Keighley. It was founded in 1986 following a piece of research on the housing needs of Black and Asian communities in Bradford. This research proved that the needs of the South Asian community were not being addressed. With an annual turnover of £8.2 million and a staff of 42, the association now manages more than 1,400 homes for over 6,000 residents. Around 75 per cent of MHA properties are large family homes with three or more bedrooms. Over 80 per cent of MHA residents are of South Asian origin but the association proudly serves all of those in need. MHA holds a G1 rating for governance and a V1 rating for financial viability from the Regulator of Social Housing.  In addition to holding the Customer Service Excellence quality mark, MHA is the first housing association in the country to be officially accredited for its work in promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion.
