Barking and Dagenham Council is currently overhauling its tenant engagement structures, which include the Tenant Voice Group, as it prepares for an inspection by the Regulator of Social Housing. The Overview and Scrutiny Committee received an update in October 2026 on the council's progress in addressing housing safety, compliance, and tenant involvement issues.
This initiative follows a self-referral to the Regulator of Social Housing in 2022, which was prompted by an independent review that identified issues. The council aims to enhance housing services through these rebuilt structures that represent the views of its tenants.
