Area Boards
Reflecting tenant involvement in your
local area
Local Area Boards do not replace any
tenant and leaseholder groups which already meet in your area.
They work alongside and within each
area's existing involvement structure, with extra powers and
responsibilities that make it easier than ever for tenants,
leaseholders and other local representatives to raise issues
formally.
Area Boards and local tenant groups -
the facts
- Area Boards are made from the existing tenant representative
groups in each area, with the addition of two local
councillors. These groups continue to meet as before, but
four times a year they will meet 'as' an Area Board. The
groups are:
- The local councillors sitting on the Area Boards will not have
voting rights. Voting power stays with the tenants and
leaseholders.
- New Area Board members will be appointed in the same way
that local tenant representatives are currently appointed.
- The Area Boards will be supported by our Tenant Participation
teams, who already co-ordinate activities and consultations in your
area.
