Resident Involvement

Improve the service and the area you live in - get involved!

Resident Involvement Agreement 2008/10
We have recently published our new Resident Involvement Agreement. The Agreement explains why and how we involve council tenants and all residents in the borough so that we can improve the housing service and improve the areas where people live. All the different ways of getting involved are described, and the Agreement also makes clear the standards you can expect and the resources we have available to make it work.

The Agreement, which was previously called the Resident Involvement Framework, has developed over more than a year after extensive consultation. It fulfils the role of a Tenant Participation Compact, which the government require us to produce.

What can you expect from your local housing teams
Local Housing Service Agreements 2008/10
We have just published 4 Local Housing Service Agreements. They describe the housing and environmental services you can expect if you live in MK North, South, East or West. You can use these documents to find out when your rubbish is collected, who is in your housing team and the areas they cover, how cleaning and caretaking works in your area and what resident associations operate. Take a look - we hope the information in there will help you get the most out the local services we provide.

Results of our Survey

We know its been a whole year since Summer 2007 but you might be interested in what the results of our review as it has influenced a great deal of our work since then! For the review we carried out 4 surveys, one for all tenants, one for our Tenants Voice members, one for disabled tenants and one for our younger tenants (aged 25 and under).

We wanted to know your views on Resident Involvement in Milton Keynes.
Here are the results

Model Constitution For Residents Association

A Constitution is needed for a Residents' Association to show the guidelines the group operates under. It is also needed to be recognised as a formal group to enable inclusion in Milton Keynes Council's participation structure.
