Wokingham Borough Council’s housing service and Tenant Volunteers have been nominated for a national award that acknowledges outstanding achievements and innovative projects.
The Tenant Charter - created by the council’s tenant involvement team and a group of council tenants - was a finalist in the ‘Innovation in Housing’ category of this year’s MJ Achievement Award.
The awards are organised by the MJ - previously the Municipal Journal - a magazine covering the UK local government sector.
Wokingham's nomination could see national recognition for its Tenant Charter, which sets out the views of council tenants on what is needed to modernise customer experience,
It also sees 17 council tenants volunteering alongside the council’s housing service team, councillors, and the voluntary sector to improve their communities.
Steve Bowers, chair of the Tenant and Landlord Improvement Panel, said: "We take pride in once again being recognised for our successful collaboration with the council and our hard work to make the lives of all council tenants better."
