Tenant consultation and involvement
How tenants can get involved in the council's housing service, including consultations, high rise and sheltered housing quality circle, the tenants scrutiny panel and tenants and residents associations.
How you can get involved
Tenants have the opportunity to be involved in a variety of areas relating to the Council's housing service - ranging from influencing decisions on your home and immediate neighbourhood, through to shaping Communities, Housing and Planning Services (CHAPS) policies and tenant scrutiny.
For more information on tenant involvement please contact our development officer using the following contact details:
- email tenant.participation@renfrewshire.gov.uk
- phone 0141 618 2502
- write to Planning and Housing Team, Communities, Housing and Planning Services, Renfrewshire Council, Renfrewshire House, Cotton Street, Paisley.
Tenants consultation register
Joining a tenants and residents association does not suit every tenant so we have created a consultation register of actively interested tenants who would like to be consulted on a variety of issues which may affect them.
