Join the e-consultation group or Reading Panel

We want to have the views of tenants and leaseholders on any changes we wish to make to the service. If you are happy to use email, we can send you draft documents for comment or, if you prefer, we can send printed material for you to look at. If you're interested in being involved in this way please contact Tenant Participation.
