Local Area Housing Forums
Our local forum brings together local tenants, Councillors, housing staff and local service partners to discuss housing issues in our area. Why not come along to the next one and be part of the discussions? They are informal and friendly and all tenants living in the North East are welcome - details of the next meeting can be found under 'Key Dates' towards the bottom of this page (or to the right if you're viewing this on a laptop or larger tablet).
Also, we'd love to know what you'd like to discuss at these meetings - so please use the 'Ideas' section below to leave us suggestions for topics to be discussed - all suggestions are welcome and will be considered.
At our next meeting in May 2025, we'll be discussing updates in the rehousing service.
Other ways of staying in touch or getting involved
We organise Neighbourhood Walkabouts, working with tenants to identify and address issues in and around our estates - you can find out more about these here: Neighbourhood Walkabouts
