Engagement Pit Stop

Have Your Say is a hub for consultations taking place across the Council. In the Housing and Neighbourhoods Service, it's massively important to us that we hear your thoughts and views on the things that matter to you so we can keep improving our services.

It also helps us shape our plans for the future. We will be using Have Your Say to share all of our council-housing related consultations with you, our tenants and leaseholders. Click here to view all housing-related consultations currently running and to take part in the ones of interest to you. These include consultation on a new Older Persons Independent Living Housing Strategy, and a project looking at how we can modernise our services through better IT systems.

As well these specific consultations, we know that there are many other different ways people like to share their thoughts and have their voice heard, so we have also put together a guide for the other ways you can get involved below.
