Help Us Launch the New Dovecotes TMO Instagram Page
Dovecotes TMO is launching a new official Instagram page, and we want residents to play a central role in shaping it.
To mark this launch, we are introducing “Dovecotes Through Your Eyes”, a resident photo competition inviting you to share your perspective of life in Dovecotes, Pendeford.
Selected entries will help shape the launch of our Instagram page and may be featured as part of our official content, showcasing the community through the eyes of those who live here.
