Join or start a Tenant and Resident Association (TRA)

TRAs are grassroots groups working to improve your local area - campaigning for better services and running community activities. Kirklees supports them through grants and resources.

Neighbourhood Forums - Quarterly events

Held four times a year, these forums bring together TRAs, Street Voices, and Fire Safety Champions to spot local issues, set priorities, and shape housing services. By attending, you will also have the opportunity learn about other council services.

Become a champion

• Street Voice Champion - provide a vital link between tenants and the council by passing out information to your neighbours, speaking to them about local issues and feeding back views so that we are able to understand what it is like living in your area.
• Fire Safety Champion - help raise awareness and safeguard your community by feeding back to the council any concerns in your block relating to fire safety, and by taking part in block inspections to monitor communal areas ensuring they are well kept and safe.

Quick surveys and consultations

From time to time, we will publish short, accessible opportunities to share feedback on services and policies, helping us track tenant satisfaction and set service priorities.

Community grants and activities

Through our Tenant Voice Team, TRAs and Street Voices can access funding for environment, safety, and community projects from sports sessions to park clean-ups.

We'd love to welcome you in whatever way suits you - monthly panels, local meetups, or online surveys.
