How to Get Involved

We're keen for our tenants and leaseholders to be involved at all levels in decisions about the management of the housing service.

Tenant and Council Partnership Agreement.  

The agreement sets out how tenants can have a voice in the housing services and be involved in decision making at all levels within the Council.  It covers the period up to March 2011 and includes a comprehensive action plan.
