Tenants – how to get involved

Do you get the information you need from Housing Services? 

Have your say – help us improve our policies

We want tenants and leaseholders to have a real voice in shaping the services you receive.

We are reviewing our Reasonable Adjustments Policy and Aids & Adaptations Policy, and we would like your help to make sure they are clear, tenant-friendly and provide the right information and support.

These policies are important because they help us understand, identify and record your individual needs, make sure you have fair access to our services, and provide the support you may need to manage and sustain your tenancy.

Everyone’s circumstances are different, and needs can also change over time. Some people may need temporary support following a change in circumstances, while others may require longer-term adjustments or adaptations to their home.

Join our tenant review group

When: Thursday 15 October 2026, 10:30am until 12:30pm
Where: All Saints View, Sapphire Place, Houghton Regis, LU5 5LP

Come along, meet housing staff and other tenants and leaseholders, and help us make sure these policies clearly explain what you can expect from us and how we can support you every step of the way.

Your experience matters. Your feedback can help us make our services better and more accessible for everyone.

Other ways to get involved

We are looking for tenants to join us on an exciting new journey!

We want to listen to you and work together to improve housing services. Your voice matters and can help make a real difference in your community. If you’d like to be part of this, sign up to our tenant database by sharing your details with us.

Why does your voice matter?

Your voice matters because:

  • you know best how our services work
  • you understand your home better than anyone
  • we put customers at the heart of everything we do
  • we always ask, “How will this affect our tenants?”
  • we want to listen and improve services to meet your needs
  • your ideas help us understand what really matters

We are pleased to share with you a summary of our tenant involvement strategy (PDF). The strategy outlines how we will seek feedback from you, our tenants, ensuring you have a say in shaping decisions that affect your community and homes.

How to get involved

As a tenant, there are lots of ways you can share your views and help shape housing services. We are looking for tenants to join us on this journey, making sure services work for you and your neighbours.
