The Residents’ Panel was set up as a way to create a stronger collaboration between the Board, Residents, and Local Space staff. Panel members are empowered to direct and influence service delivery and identify improvements that address the needs of all residents.

We recognise that residents and leaseholders come from a variety of backgrounds. Some have a wealth of knowledge and experience to offer, and others are simply motivated and passionate about making a difference. We value knowledge and experience, but these are not crucial to being involved in Residents’ Panel and groups, and we actively encourage wider involvement and representation.

To ensure that applicants have a full understanding of the role that they are applying for, an information pack and opportunities to observe the panel will be provided. There will also be an informal meeting with 2 panel members to explore their understanding of the role and what they can bring to the panel.
