Tenants urged to vote in Tenants’ Panel Elections

11 June 2008

With time running out for tenants to return their ballot papers, The Wrekin Housing Trust is encouraging its tenants to use their vote in the 2008 Tenants' Panel elections.

Tenants in the East area, which covers Newport, Donnington, Oakengates and Ketley, have the opportunity to vote for the tenant that they want to represent them on the Tenants' Panel by completing and returning their ballot papers by Monday 16 June.

The Tenants' Panel has an influence on the way the Trust is run, and assists communication between tenants and managers at the Trust. It enables Tenants' Panel Representatives to represent the views of tenants on how their homes are managed.

Jo Rowley, Resident Involvement Manager at the Trust, said, "It's important that tenants in the East area make the most of their vote and have a say over who represents them on the Tenants' Panel. Taking part in the elections is a way for Trust tenants to give input into what The Wrekin Housing Trust does and I would encourage everyone to return their ballot papers by Monday 16 June."

All tenants in the East area have been sent an election pack, containing information about the candidates standing for election, along with a ballot paper and a freepost envelope, which should be returned by Monday 16 June.
