This panel gives tenants and leaseholders the chance to look closely at important areas of our housing service.
The panel:
- keep a close eye on our performance as a council
- help all tenants have their voices heard by us
- work with us to decide the most important things to work on
- carry out at least two service reviews every year, with support from us
- help organise and deliver the garden competition, with support from us
Panel members are chosen through an application process to make sure tenants from different areas and backgrounds are represented.
How much time it will take
Panel meetings are every three months. Every meeting lasts about two hours, and you will need to spend up to an hour reading documents before the meeting.
Service reviews normally take about four to six hours across two or three meetings, but this can change depending on the topic.
Helping to arrange the garden competition is optional.
If you want to do it, there are at least two meetings that take about two hours each. There's about six or seven hours for general organisation and prep. Judging the entries takes a day, and the awards ceremony takes half a day.
