Council Housing Tenant and Leaseholder Engagement Strategy Consultation
Closing date: 5pm on Sunday 13 April 2025
Background
We are developing a new draft Council Housing Tenant/Leaseholder Engagement Strategy which sets out how the Council, working with its strategic housing partner ForHousing, will engage with both our tenants and leaseholders.
The draft strategy details how the Council will ensure that its tenants and leaseholders are able to engage in an open and transparent way. At the same time, the strategy also describes what good engagement looks like and how any feedback from Council tenants and leaseholders will be used to improve services.
The strategy also compliments and supports our council housing vision statement, namely:
We aim to provide affordable homes of the right type and quality to meet the housing needs of those who are unable to meet their own needs in the housing market now and in the future. We will work in partnership to support our tenants to prosper and improve their wellbeing and ensure neighbourhoods and communities are sustainable, safe and pleasant.
We would like to hear your views on our draft Council Housing Tenant/Leaseholder Engagement Strategy. We are keen to hear what you think of our aim and key objectives, as well as the commitments we will make to you.
