  Tenant Improvement Grant - improving your area

  Working with a panel of tenants, leaseholders and councillors, we have developed a small grant scheme for communal areas. This tenant-led project offers the opportunity for residents of Council-owned areas to apply for small improvements.

  We want to support projects that are making a real difference to our tenants and leaseholders in creating strong, vibrant communities. Find out more about the Tenant Improvement Grant.

• Policy and Good Practice Working Group

  This joint working group of Tenants, Leaseholders and Council Officers meets to review all of the housing services policies and procedures.
