Meet your Resident Engagement & Partnerships Team
Our Resident Engagement & Partnerships Team works to ensure every council tenant and leaseholder has the opportunity to get involved in their local neighbourhood and help shape housing services across Tower Hamlets.
We believe that residents are best placed to influence decisions about where they live. That's why we work closely with residents both locally and across the borough to support meaningful involvement, community action and service improvement.
Whether you want to join a local residents' association, take part in an estate inspection, help shape council housing services, or develop new skills through our training programme, our team is here to support you.
