This page has been created especially for people living in our high-rise buildings. Tenants and residents told us that high-rise communities are often overlooked, so this page brings together all the ways you can get involved, share your views, and stay updated on what’s happening.
High-rise Champions
Our High-rise Champions are residents who volunteer to share feedback, raise ideas, and help us understand what matters most to people living in high-rise homes.
High-rise Champions:
- Share issues and suggestions from their own buildings
- Help test new ideas and improvements
- Work closely with housing teams to make sure high-rise voices are heard.
If you would like to become a High-rise Champion, please get in touch using the Tenant Voice team contact form or call us on 01942 486645.
High-rise Engagement Strategy
We have a dedicated High-rise Engagement Strategy to make sure tenants and residents in high-rise buildings are always included in decision-making.
The strategy sets out how we will:
- Communicate clearly with high-rise residents
- Involve residents early when changes are planned
- Give regular updates about building improvements
- Make sure feedback from high-rise homes shapes how we work.
High-rise Readers Panel
Our High-rise Readers Panel brings together tenants and residents from high-rise buildings to review letters, leaflets and other information before we send it out.
Panel members help us check that information for high-rise tenants and residents is:
- Clear
- Easy to understand
- Relevant to high-rise living.
If you would like to join the Readers Panel, we’d love to hear from you - please get in touch using the Tenant Voice team contact form or call us on 01942 486645.
High-rise tenant Housing Advisory Panel Member
We have a dedicated high-rise representative on our Housing Advisory Panel who speaks on behalf of people living in our high-rise buildings. This representative ensures high-rise issues are discussed at a senior level within the council.
Chris has been a Housing Advisory Panel member since 2017. He is also a member of the Housing Ombudsman’s panel and the Building Safety Regulators panel which concerns itself with safety in high-rise buildings.
As your representative, Chris can raise any issues which as a tenant or resident you have been unable to resolve to a satisfactory level.
Tenant/resident stories and experiences
We are looking for residents of high-rise buildings to share their stories, ideas and experiences.
You might want to tell us about:
- Community projects in your building
- Events, celebrations or positive experiences
- Challenges you’ve overcome as a community
- Ideas that have made your building a better place to live
- What living in a high-rise means to you.
We’ll regularly update this section to highlight the voices and experiences of our high-rise communities.
