What they are
Tenants and residents are groups of people, including council tenants and other residents, who live in an area and:
- provide a collective voice for tenants and residents
- act as a focus for consultation and drive change
- develop extra services, such as lunch clubs or advice resources, to other tenants and residents
- hold regular meetings open to everyone in the association area and conduct their business through a smaller committee.
