Dacorum Tenant Voice Panel

What is the Tenant Voice Panel?

The Tenant Voice Panel is a group of tenants who work with Dacorum Borough Council to ensure that tenant views are heard and considered in the delivery of housing services. Thank you to the 82 applicants who applied to our Tenant Voice Panel (written on 05/03/2026) to help shape the policies and services that impact everyday life in Dacorum. Your lived experience matters, and your insight helps guide the future of housing in our community.

The panel provides feedback on housing policies and services, reviews how the Council is performing as a landlord, and shares insight based on tenants’ lived experiences. While the panel does not make final decisions, it plays an important role in informing and influencing the Council’s approach to housing management.

The panel also supports the Council in meeting the expectations of the Regulator of Social Housing and the Housing Ombudsman.

Tenant Voice Panel Update: Thank You

Thank you to everyone who applied to join Dacorum Borough Council’s Tenant Voice Panel. We were delighted to receive such a high number of strong applications and truly appreciate the time, effort and enthusiasm shown by all applicants. Your commitment to improving housing services and ensuring tenants’ voices are heard is greatly valued.

Following a competitive selection process, we are pleased to congratulate our newly appointed Tenant Voice Panel members. We very much enjoyed meeting applicants during the interview stage and look forward to the insight, experience and passion our new members will bring to the panel.

The first Tenant Voice Panel meeting will take place on 26 March and we will produce another news story shortly after this.

Still want to get involved?

Although not everyone could be offered a place on the panel, we are keen to continue involving interested tenants in future engagement opportunities. One way to do this is through our Mystery Customer Group, which enables tenants to have a say in the running of council services through scrutiny sessions, feedback exercises and online surveys. Members may also be invited to contribute to activities such as the Summer Housing Open Day – Tenant Voice questionnaire.

Thank you once again to everyone who applied. We look forward to working with tenants in a variety of ways to ensure your voices continue to shape and improve our housing services.
