Your opportunity to help shape how we work

Policy Consultation

Why are we consulting?

We want your views on various policies that relate to how we manage your housing.

We are consulting with you because we think it’s important to get the views of our residents when we look to amend or update the way we work in areas that will have an impact on your housing or that of our future residents.

The consultation period

The consultation period starts on Saturday 27th June 2020 and will finish on Sunday 12th July 2020.

How can you let us know your views?

Within each area of consultation there is a link to an online feedback form. On completion, this form will be forwarded to a member of the team and reviewed. If we need further information from you to fully understand your feedback, we will get in touch.

Once the consultation period has closed, we will review all feedback and provide all residents with a summary of the feedback received and our response.

Please ensure all feedback is sent by 12th July 2020.

What area would we like your feedback on?

We would like you to provide feedback on seven key housing management policies which have recently been reviewed and our tenancy agreement.

These have been updated to take into account best practice and feedback we’ve received from residents over the last few years.

They are:
