Greenwich Council is focusing on tenant engagement and managing an overspend in its Housing Revenue Account.

Greenwich Council's Cabinet agreed in March 2026 to establish a new Tenant Influence and Oversight Panel, aiming to give residents a greater say in housing decisions. Councillor Pat Slattery, Cabinet Member for Housing Management, Neighbourhoods and Homelessness, stated the panel would empower tenants to shape housing services. The Housing Resident Engagement Policy, supporting these changes, was implemented in Q4 2025/6.
