Tenant Scrutiny Panel Meeting - 2 June 2026 Minutes

Present:

  • Julie Hood, Housing Equalities and Engagement Facilitator
  • D. McLaren, tenant
  • E. Middleton, tenant

Apologies:

  • none received

Julie opened the meeting and welcomed everybody.

Since the last meeting there have been 3 resignations. These were from J. Proctor, J. Wormald and M. Flintoft. All are due to a change in personal circumstances.

Those present sent their best wishes to the members and their thanks for the work they had done as part of the Panel.

They expressed their concern that there are now only 3 active Tenant Scrutiny Panel members. The Terms of Reference do not state a minimum number of Tenant Scrutiny Panel members however 3 is a very small number.

Julie explained that one way to try to increase the number of tenants on the Panels is to send a ‘Your Choice’ leaflet to every tenant. The Panel agreed this plan.

They agreed the covering letter/text for the factsheet.

Action: Factsheets to be sent to every tenant before next meeting.

Task & Finish Groups

As the members present were the Tenant Scrutiny Panel members attending the Task & Finish Group meetings they agreed to postpone these agenda items to the next meeting, except the Mystery Shopping scripts.

Mystery Shopping Scripts

These need the expertise of a Customer Support Officer. It was agreed to ask if one could attend the next meeting.

Action: Julie to investigate a Customer Support Officer coming to the next meeting.
