An evaluation report on the Residents Assembly held 19 January has been completed and is now published on our website.
The review of the resident engagement structures report has been drafted by the independent consultant, Just Housing Group. The recommendations from the review will be shared with TRAs once agreed by the Co-ordinating Committee and will go to Cabinet in June.
The Re-procurement and Fire Safety Resident Panels have continued to meet regularly and updates on topics discussed go to the Area Boards. Fifteen residents have volunteered to join the Anti Social Behaviour Panel which will meet soon for the first time.
Resident Panels are informal sounding boards for officers to discuss policy and practice with interested residents. If you are interested in joining any resident panel please email gettinginvolved@lambeth.gov.uk.
