How you can get involved
We want to hear from as many tenants as possible and make sure tenants views and perspectives are represented in all our services.
Getting involved can also benefit you as it can help build confidence, skills and meeting new people.
Ways you can get involved include:
- looking at our performance and ask questions or make suggestions
- reviewing our policies and influence changes
- checking our contracts to see whether they best serve tenants
- joining us on our estate inspections and report any issues.
Get in touch to find out more at resident.invovlement@scambs.gov.uk
Policy review panel
We have a panel that reviews our policies and strategies and makes sure they are written with tenant’s interests in mind. Some of the recently reviewed policies include our mutual exchange policy and our disabled adaptations policy.
Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs) and performance panel
Join us in reviewing our performance on things such as our repairs service, how we deal with complaints, how long we take to re-let homes and more. This group checks our performance numbers and asks questions if there are any changes in the performance of certain areas and recommends further investigation if there is a service that is not performing as it should be.
Find out more about our performance and tenant satisfaction measures.
Contract review panel
This panel monitors our contracts to make sure they are performing as they should and are providing the services in a way that tenants want as well as participating in the awarding of new contracts.
Housing Engagement Board
The role of the Housing Engagement Board is to work with the head of housing and councillors to prioritise budgets, work, resources and policies to deliver a service that focuses on tenants needs.
Our Housing Engagement Board is made up of 10 people:
- 6 elected tenant representatives (one is a leaseholder)
- 3 District Councillors
- Head of Housing, Peter Campbell

Your current elected tenant representatives
A tenant representative’s role is very important. They are the voice of tenants and leaseholders living in our council homes. Their role is to work with the head of housing and councillors to prioritise budgets, work, resources and policies to deliver a service that focuses on tenants needs. Should you require copies of the agenda packs in an alternative format, please contact resident.involvement@scambs.gov.uk
