Tenants Scrutiny Panel

The Tenants Scrutiny Panel is a Countywide, tenant led panel and has a considerable impact on Council decisions about the housing service. Membership consists of tenant representatives that have applied to be members of the panel to provide experience and/or knowledge from a tenants' perspective, 4 County Councillors and the Cabinet Member with the portfolio responsibility for Housing and Housing Staff. Working groups are formed from time to time from this panel to work on specific projects.
