1. Tenant Involvement The Tenant Involvement Process

2. Tenant Involvement We recognise that the best way to deliver a service that tenants and leaseholders want is to work with and listen to our tenants. Tenants’ and leaseholders’ views are able to influence decisions affecting their homes and communities. The council is better able to provide services which the tenants and leaseholders value. We find this out by meeting and talking to them. This will continue to strengthen and improve relationships between tenants, leaseholders, officers and members
