““What Tamworth Council Call a Success”


First Joke
Tenant conference was a success

At the 2001 census the town had a population of 74531.

More than 100 council tenants took part in the first ever housing conference organised by Tamworth Borough Council.

The conference was held at the Assembly Rooms last Thursday to give Tamworth tenants the opportunity to have their say on housing services, hear about the latest developments in social housing, listen to guest speakers and ask for advice.

The event was split into two sessions. The first featured a number of guest speakers and was attended by almost 70 tenants.

The afternoon session was a drop-in event, with exhibition stands from a number of groups and organisations including council staff, new repairs contractor Mears, new gas contractor Morrison, TAROE (Tenants & Residents Organisations of England), the Tenant Consultative Group and TamworthCAN.

Throughout the day, more than 100 council tenants went along to the conference to pick up help and advice, ask questions and put forward suggestion for improving the housing service
