“Getting a better deal for tenants”

ARCH is keen to reflect the views of people who live in council homes in its internal decision-making and its external lobbying. Here you’ll see the work of ARCH Tenants’ Group, events organised by and for tenants, and other useful resources.

ARCH Tenants’ Group.

The ARCH Tenants’ Group is made up of tenant representatives from ARCH member authorities across England. It is a sub-group of the ARCH executive board, and held its inaugural meeting in November 2008. It meets six times a year.

Executive board minutes and Tenants’ Group minutes are shared between the two bodies via the members’ only area on the ARCH website, to which Tenants’ Group members have access.
 
Residents have been recruited from across England to ensure the ARCH Tenants’ Group fully reflects ARCH’s membership across the country.
