How you can influence our housing services

Housing influence is about giving you the opportunity to have your say, and to help shape and improve housing services, policies and practices that affect you.

Through our resident involvement programme, you're invited to come on board and tell us what matters to you to help influence decisions that affect you, your home, and your community. We know it can be difficult to find the time to get involved, so we’ve created a range of engagement activities for you to choose from.

Tenant involvement panels

We have three tenant panels. Each one gives tenants a different way to get involved and help shape housing services.
