Q. Why should residents get involved?

A  Residents, tenants including leaseholders can benefit from being actively involved     in making decisions about housing & local services. It can form a partnership and helps landlords improve its services based on the comments and suggestions that are collectively received from resident and community groups.

Q. How can you get involved?

A  There are a number of well established tenant and resident groups across the borough. They meet either on a regular basis or just occasionally. They often discuss problems and ideas and put forward suggestions on how services can be improved.  The Federation is looking for other people from across the borough to team up with us, making our influence even stronger for our future generations.

Q. What if your group does not want to get too involved?

A  We can still keep your group informed through letters, leaflets and newsletters.         We are happy to consult your group about matters that affect you. We are planning to carry out opinion surveys and as such we may contact you to take part in these. Feedback can help us find out what you think of us. You are of course welcome to    make any comments or suggestions to us and we will take all your views into account.

Q. How the Federation can help you?

This can be done by a variety of ways, a representative will be pleased        to attend any locally run meetings that you are holding.
