Consultation has concluded

The Housing Service is developing ways to engage with tenants within the provision of Tenant Participation Groups. The team currently works with "interested tenants" - tenants who have made themselves known to us as wishing to take part in different types of tenant participation activities - to draft a proposal of what structured tenant groups may look like including groups remits, frequency of meetings, and developing a tenant-led approach with the possible use of tenant chairs.

We are welcoming ideas about how to get more tenants involved, in what ways would they like to be involved, and how the groups may develop and feed back to all tenants. The tenant participation team work with tenants in many ways including (but not limited to)

  • Structured groups
  • Community events
  • Consultations
  • One-off forums that focus on a specific topic

There are many topics that tenants can have their say in, such as

  • Housing finance
  • Housing repairs
  • Housing strategy
  • Options and Homelessness
  • Communications - such as the tenants' newsletter, or documents which are created for tenants


You will find on this page tenant submissions for how they may like to see tenant groups run.


If you have any questions or require any assistance, or wish to provide feedback in an alternate format, please contact the Tenant Participation Team on tenant.participation@aberdeenshire.gov.uk or on 01467 53 58 53.


This consultation will run until 30 November 2021.

  • When we consider how effective we can make the Tenant Groups, there are a few things which could assist in getting information out:

    - The use of a Tenant Chair 

    - The use of Action Plans

    - Feedback to all tenants by providing information to the Communications Group and/or a council lead for a group to put onto the website

    - The use of summary videos to put into the newsletter and websites

    - Attending local area committees to give feedback on issues that are important to you

    Would you be willing to undertake any of these activities?
