Tenant Panels
Summer 2024 marked the start of a refreshed approach to our tenant engagement, with the introduction of some new panels to scrutinise the performance of our service.
Tenant membership of all our panels is kept under review and may be changed as required to reflect the needs of tenants and/or the Housing and Property Service. Wherever possible, we will seek to make sure the profile of involved tenants is in line with the profile of our tenant population as a whole. Being on one of our panels is a great way to learn more about the Housing and Property Service, meet new people and use your voice to influence future services. Our panel members work as part of a team, contributing ideas and taking part in discussion.
Tenants who have registered on this website will get advance notice of opportunities to join in with engagement activities and consultation news. If you haven't already, please register (top right of the screen) so we can let you know when there's a new opportunity to get involved and have your say. Are you interested in joining a tenant panel? Please get in touch if so.
You can contact us at any time, please email engagement@northtyneside.gov.uk or call us on 0191 643 2828.
Our Landlord Panel has been formed to ensure we are providing a high quality housing service that meets tenants' needs, is good value for money and meets national and local standards. It provides scrutiny of the service and makes recommendations that will be taken into consideration by decision-makers. The Panel currently comprises of four North Tyneside Council tenants and two councillor Cabinet members. Independent members with relevant experience will be invited to attend, depending on the subjects under discussion.

We are also looking to set up a Leaseholder Panel shortly, to consider issues relevant only to council leaseholders (for example, someone who has bought a council flat under the Right to Buy scheme but still pays a leasehold fee to the council for building maintenance).
