Cornwall Housing Tenants' Forum

We want to work with tenants to create a great housing service. It is important to us that tenants have a say in monitoring Cornwall Housing services. By joining our Tenants' Forum and giving feedback, you’ll help influence the Council’s policies.

The Tenants' Forum

The Tenant Forum aims to act in the interests of all residents to monitor, investigate, challenge, and hold Cornwall Housing to account.

"The Tenants' Forum is here to represent and help all Cornwall Housing residents by working with the company to improve the services. We resolve any problems that may crop up and, when needed, hold the company to account. The Tenants' Forum welcomes new members to help with our work. It’s easy to join and the only requirement needed is for you to be a Cornwall Housing or Council tenant." - John Harris, Chairperson

How often do we meet?

Our Tenants' Forum meet regularly throughout the year at Chy Trevail in Bodmin (you can also join our meetings online through Microsoft Teams). We usually have 4 full Tenants' Forum meetings a year and other ad-hoc meetings as and when required for other items for discussion/feedback.

What do we do?

We represent the wider tenant body of Cornwall Housing, holding the company to account and ensuring tenants' voices are heard. We work with Cornwall Housing to monitor their performance and get involved in any changes to services/policies or procedures that may cause an impact for customers. We feedback and challenge when felt necessary and sometimes represent Cornwall Housing residents when feeding back to national housing challenges/surveys also.
