"Tenant participation should be embedded in the government's devolution plans"

In a report published in September, tenant engagement body Tpas said that the government must ensure devolution doesn’t create another layer of decision-making that is disconnected from the people it serves.  Instead, resident voice should become a defining feature of England’s devolved housing system, giving people a meaningful role in shaping housing investment, regeneration and the future of their communities.  The paper calls for every combined authority in England to establish a regional resident voice framework linked to housing, regeneration and investment decisions.
