Tenant Participation is about tenants taking part in decision making processes and influencing decisions about housing policies, conditions and related services.
The Housing (Scotland) Act 2001 gives all Local Authorities a duty to produce a Strategy for Tenant Participation. (PDF format, 23 pages, 134 KB). The Moray Council has a devolved structure for local representation.
We are committed to consulting with tenants on all housing and housing related issues in an attempt to improve the housing service.
We support Registered Tenant Organisations throughout Moray. We also provide our Registered Tenant Organisations with funding to allow them greater independence from the Council.
We provide tenants with the information that they might need to run their Area Forum through the Community Capacity Building Training Calendar.
We produce a six-monthly tenants newsletter, "The Tenants Voice"
We hold an annual Tenants Conference. The next one is due to be held on Thursday 17 September 2008. Full details will be available later.
A good way to raise issues of concern for an area is to request that the Local Area Forum includes it as an agenda item for their next meeting.
