Transparency, Influence and Accountability Consumer Standard
Greenwich Council is establishing new ways for tenants to influence housing decisions, reflecting the Transparency, Influence and Accountability Consumer Standard.
Greenwich Council established a new Tenant Influence and Oversight Panel in March 2026, providing council home residents with a formal mechanism to scrutinise and influence housing strategies, policies, and services. Councillor Pat Slattery, Cabinet Member for Housing Management, Neighbourhoods and Homelessness, stated this panel would offer a powerful way for tenants to shape housing services. The Housing Resident Engagement Policy, which supports these changes, was noted as being implemented in Q4 2025/6.
This standard, set by the Regulator of Social Housing, requires social landlords to be transparent, allow tenants to influence services, and be accountable for their actions. It aims to provide accessible information about a council's performance in housing management, ensuring tenants have meaningful opportunities to influence and scrutinise services.
