Council wants a tenants voice on housing committee

Fri, 18 Jan 2019

Douglas Council wants to ensure its tenants have a seat at the table when decisions are made on housing.

The local authority is advertising a vacancy on its housing committee for an independent member to air the views and concerns of those living in public sector properties.

They’ll be able to cast a vote, contribute at meetings over a two year period and have a say on issues such as capital schemes, and rent increases.

Chair of the housing committee is Councillor Claire Wells – she explained the role in further detail to Local Democracy Reporter Ewan Gawne:
