Tenant and Leaseholder Focus Group Sign Up Form

Our Housing service is looking for enthusiastic volunteers to sign up to take part in our new focus group. This is a good opportunity to have your say on the things that really matter to you and help make service better for all who use it.

Post covid we are keen to reengage with our tenants and leaseholders. We want to give you the chance to help reshape Ashford’s Housing service and get involved with future planning and wider maintenance works.

So we are setting up a private discussion page where tenants and leaseholders can talk about different topics and engage with council employees. There will be opportunities for consultation too. Please fill out the questions below to sign up.
