What are the benefits of Tenant Participation
in Dacorum?
- Improves communication between the Council and
the tenants - which invariably makes the tenants feel more involved
- gives you more choice and more power over your
home and the area in which you live
- brings a stronger sense of community.
Dacorum has:
- 16
active Tenants’ and Residents’ Associations
- A Leaseholder Group a Borough-wide group that
represents the views of leaseholders
- A Housing
Advisory Panel which meets six-weekly
- The opportunity to join a Council housing focus
group for the Borough. A focus group is a small number of residents
who are brought together by the Council as an informed sounding
board to make recommendations and influence decisions. Typical
subjects for discussion might be landscaping, repairs and maintenance
or improving community safety.
- Residents’ discussion and problem solving
groups called “single issue focus groups” set up
by the Council to make sure that communication with tenants
most closely affected by a major project is good for the duration
of that project, i.e., major refurbishment works.
- Annual tenant satisfaction survey. This is compiled
throughout the year by sending a survey to 165 randomly selected
tenants across the Borough every month. The results are published
annually.
If you are interested in having your say and would
