ARCH annual conference   

On 3 October 2024, the Association of Retained Council Housing (ARCH) held their annual conference in Rotherham, hosting over 90 delegates, including representatives from our Tenant Involvement Panel (TIP). This event provided a valuable opportunity for tenant representatives nationwide to network, receive key updates, and share ideas.

Our panel members found the speakers insightful and appreciated learning from the experiences of tenants from other cities. They were particularly impressed by Rotherham Council’s effective communication during a major flood and their involvement of tenants in home refurbishments. Inspired by this, we are now reviewing our own emergency response planning.

Marion, a TIP member, said “It gave me hope that there was a better way to deal with tenant issues generally and that this should be the plan going forward.”

Your voice matters: tackling key tenant issues together You’ve told us that anti-social behaviour (ASB), building safety, and repairs are your top concerns. We’re listening and taking action! We’re launching new tenant engagement activities focused on these critical areas, and we want to hear from you.
