If you're a council tenant or leaseholder, you can have your say on how the housing service is run.
Get involved
You can give us feedback online, join a tenant and leaseholder group or forum, take part in events, surveys or consultations and workshops.
Housing forums
A housing forum is a meeting where council housing tenants and leaseholders can discuss housing services with the council.
If you're a tenant or leaseholder, you can join your Housing Forum and make suggestions about improvements to shared council areas.
High-Rise Living Group
We are setting up a new group for tenants and leaseholders who live in high-rise buildings.
The High-Rise Living Group will be an opportunity to talk about communal living areas, building safety, collective wellbeing, and other topics that are important to residents who live high-rise buildings.
If you're interested in getting involved, email tpu@bristol.gov.uk or call 0117 352 1444.
