Clackmannanshire Council tenants are being urged to step forward and help shape the future of local housing services by joining an independent scrutiny panel.

The appeal invites tenants who want to see improvements in the housing service and be part of the process to get involved, stressing that no formal experience is needed – organisers are looking for tenants’ views, ideas and lived experience of using Clackmannanshire’s housing services.

A promotional leaflet explains that the scrutiny panel is a friendly, independent group of tenants who work together to look at how housing services are run, explore what is working well and what is not, and make recommendations to improve services.

It states that the panel’s findings and recommendations go directly to the council, and housing management must respond to the issues raised, with the aim of improving services for all tenants and encouraging members to meet and work alongside people in their communities.

The recruitment drive is being promoted on the council’s Let’s Talk Housing Facebook page, which encourages tenants to get involved and share the post so that as many residents as possible hear about the opportunity.

Tenants interested in joining the panel or finding out more are being asked to contact Pedro at the Tenants Information Service, or email the council’s tenant participation team at tenantparticipation@clacks.gov.uk.
