Fancy Joining<br />
The tenantsvoice?<br />
There are currently places<br />
available for tenants to become<br />
a member of the tenantsvoice.<br />
The tenantsvoice is open to all<br />
tenants and is the tenant chosen name for the tenant<br />
scrutiny panel. They will be helping to improve the<br />
<strong>Council</strong>’s performance as a landlord by:<br />
• Giving an independent view of the <strong>Council</strong>’s<br />
procedures and performance as a landlord<br />
• Highlighting what is good and what needs to<br />
change; and<br />
• Making evidence based recommendations to<br />
change things for the better<br />
Wanted – More Empty<br />
Homes Inspectors<br />
Empty Homes Inspectors spot<br />
check the condition of empty<br />
homes by ‘reality checking’ their<br />
condition when tenants leave<br />
a property, and they also make<br />
sure that the properties meet<br />
the property letting service standards before the next<br />
tenants sign their tenancy agreements.<br />
FREE training will be offered in all aspects of the work<br />
you will undertake. You just need to be willing and able<br />
to learn.<br />

Community Walkabouts<br />
Every 3 months we conduct community walkabouts and invite you to take part.<br />
Together we look at all sorts of issues that may affect your estate or your village.<br />
We want to ensure that your estate or village is a more pleasant place to live in<br />
by addressing the issues that you think are important. Mobility scooter users<br />
are welcome to attend. You can find our walkabout schedule on our website at<br />
