The TPAS review recommended a move to a Housing Influence Panel made up of tenants and leaseholders rather than the current Tenant Forum which is made (the Forum would then be no longer be supported by the council). The Council have accepted the recommendation of the TPAS review as we consider that this is the best way to improve residents (tenants/leaseholders) influence in the housing service that you receive from us. This move is also supported by the Government white paper as well. This new Housing Influence Panel would consider how tenants have influenced service delivery, policy and procedures and challenging the Council where they feel tenant influence had not been adequate.
