Kirklees Together

We are committed to ensuring tenants and leaseholders have a strong voice in our work by encouraging residents to join a tenant panel.

Tenant Voice Panel

Set up in 2023. This new panel is part of our formal decision-making arrangements ensuring tenants and leaseholders have opportunities to influence housing services at a strategic level. The panel will oversee performance and compliance against housing regulatory standards from a tenant’s perspective.

The panel will be involved in the following:

• Formulation of housing-related policies.
• Influencing decisions on housing services are delivered.
• Scrutiny of Homes and Neighbourhoods performance.

Tenant Voice Panel members will be expected to:

• Provide a tenant perspective on how housing services meet regulatory standards.
• Oversee the delivery of the council’s tenant involvement strategy.
• Monitor service delivery against satisfaction measures.

Tenant Advisory and Grants Panel

Set up in 2021. This panel provides tenants and leaseholders with a platform to express their opinions and concerns about housing and community issues at a grassroots level and ensure the council hears their voices. The panel approves grants that Kirklees Council offers for community projects.
Tenant Advisory and Grants Panel members support delivering the tenant involvement strategy locally and in the community. This includes:

• Sense-checking tenant-facing policies and procedures.
• Commenting on tenant communications.
• Awarding community grants and work.
