National Tenant Voice

The National Tenant Voice (NTV) was established (from April 2010) in order that tenants can influence national policy through working with Government and other bodies. It will seek the views of tenants through a variety of means (for example policy forums and road shows) and may carry out research into the experiences of tenants.

The NTV is made up of a National Tenant Council (NTC) of 50 tenants and a Board of 15. The NTC act as a sounding board on housing policy issues, and was formed to reflect as closely as possible the profile of social housing tenants. Some members were nominated by existing tenants' organisations; others recruited following an open recruitment process.

The Board includes 9 tenant members (from which a Chair has been selected ), drawn from the NTC and 6 non tenant members recruited through an open process.

Forty Years Old

The Society celebrated its fortieth anniversary in 2006. The founding meeting of the Society took place on the 24th May 1966. To celebrate this landmark Elaine Wheatley, a past Chair of the Society, has written an updated history, adding to that produced by Derek Taunt in 1991.
