Reading Tenants Group Wins Award

A Voluntary group that works in partnership with Reading Borough Council to improve tenant services in Reading have had their work recognised at an awards event in London on 14th February.

TACT (Tenants and Council Together) are the proud winners of the award in Excellence in Tenant Scrutiny, awarded by the Tenant Participation Advisory Service (TPAS).

The Reading scrutiny panel reviews tenant issues and recommends improvements. Recent work has focussed on the appearance of estates, antisocial behaviour and the impact of Welfare Reform on tenants, with recommendations including the provision of better cleaning equipment and a review of housing leaflets and other communications to tenants about anti-social behaviour.

If you are a Council tenant and would like to get involved in helping to improve your Housing service, contact the Tenant Participation Team on 0118 937 2730.
