Success for Partnership customers

We are delighted to advise that two Partnership customers have been successful in securing a place on the National Tenant Council. The National Tenant Council, at the heart of the National Tenant Voice, will consist of fifty tenants that will meet to debate and discuss key housing policy issues. The National Tenant Voice was developed after being made as a key recommendation of the Cave Review.

The National Tenant Council will reflect the diversity of social housing tenants. It will have on it tenants from local authorities, housing associations, housing co-ops, tenants managed by Arms Length Management Organisations and Tenant Management Organisations, and leaseholders of social landlords.

Mike Dale from St Austell and Trevor Hankins from London applied and went through the application process along with 1300 other tenants from right across the country. The application process was stringent, with a telephone interview, group session and final interview, so Mike and Trevor have done fantastically well.

Having two Partnership tenants on this group is something to really celebrate as it is hoped this group will have real influence. Its main purpose is to discuss and advise the National Tenant Voice and the government on housing policy issues - to ensure government and others know tenants' views.

Please do let me know if there are any other customers that have been successful, that might be hiding their light under a bushel!
