Tenant engagement
If you’re a Newark and Sherwood District Council tenant or leaseholder and care about your home, where you live and the housing services that you receive, why not help us to improve what we do and how we do it?
We can help you set up safe events in your community to try to get more people involved or you can work with us individually to improve the services that we offer to all tenants. It really is up to you!
Tenant involvement opportunities
Over the next few months we are reviewing how we do things. Tenants and leaseholders will be able to suggest ways in which they would like to see how things work. Together we will provide a menu of opportunities for all people, whether you have a day to spare, a week or even just five minutes.
In the meantime if you want to get involved now, you can either speak informally to a tenant who is already involved or if you want a general picture about what is available at the moment, email our Tenant Engagement Officers at getinvolved@newark-sherwooddc.gov.uk.
Tenant Engagement Champions
Following feedback from tenants, Tenant Engagement Champions have been set up to give tenants the opportunity to speak to one another and share their views on their local community with District Council officers.
These champions are here to listen to the views of tenants and raise them with the District Council to action.
More information is available on our Tenant Engagement Champions including details on how you can get involved.
Community Link Groups
Our Community Link Groups complement and provide feedback to our Local Influence Network.
Taking place at locations across the district the Groups provide a more local focus and provide an opportunity for tenants, leaseholders and residents to raise issues and ideas that are specific to their local community. Issues and ideas discussed at the Community Link Groups will be raised to the local LIN Chair for further discussion at the LIN meetings and through to the District Council for consideration.
More information is available on our Community Link Group webpage including details of when the next meetings are taking place.
Estate walkabouts
Estate walkabouts are a great way for you to help us keep our communities clean, tidy and problem free. You will meet other tenants, staff members and agencies involved in maintaining acceptable standards in our communities.
You can see the schedule for the next walkabout on our Estate walkabouts page.
Tenant Engagement Calendar
We host a wide range of activities and events across the year to give tenants a chance to raise concerns with us or play a part in shaping our service. For a full list of opportunities, take a look at our Engagement Calendar 2025 - 2026 (PDF File, 393kb) and get involved.
