Chair of the Housing Overview and Scrutiny Committee
Wandsworth Council's new resident engagement strategy will shape the role of the Chair of the Housing Overview and Scrutiny Committee.
Wandsworth Council is overhauling its resident engagement strategy, moving towards flexible, topic-specific scrutiny groups to involve residents earlier in decision-making processes. This initiative, announced in October 2026, will influence how the Chair of the Housing Overview and Scrutiny Committee facilitates resident input on housing matters.
The new strategy aims to broaden participation beyond traditional area-based panels, offering diverse avenues for involvement, including digital and informal options. A report to the council said this approach seeks to ensure tenant and leaseholder voices are heard more effectively.
