Ways to get involved
The customer influence and assurance panel (CIAP) is a group of residents who work closely with housing managers to provide feedback, influence decision-making, and ensure that housing services are shaped by those who use them. This panel is recruited by an application and interview process every two years.
The customer link group helps shape and improve housing services by acting as a bridge between the wider resident community and the CIAP.

Join your local housing team on estate walkabouts and work with us to improve services where you live. A great way to flag any issues affecting communal areas such as green spaces, security, rubbish, fly-tipping and repairs.
Local engagement
Involvement at a local level to help improve your neighbourhood. This can include drop-in sessions, pop-up days, block meetings and residents associations. A great way to get people talking about issues which are important to them. If you’ve got an idea for an event, we can help promote it or suggest a venue.
