Tenant Engagement - Monthly Walkabouts and Talkabouts

Monthly Walkabouts and Talkabouts 

As part of our tenant engagement calendar, Ipswich Borough Council‘s monthly activities in local areas are designed to bring tenants, leaseholders, housing officers, staff, councillors and Tenant Voice Members together to make a difference where it matters most.

The next dates for Estate Engagement are now live! 

Following on from our highly successful Talkabouts throughout the colder months, Tenant Engagement are pleased to announce that Walkabouts have now been scheduled Autumn. We remain committed to both events to ensure that we provide plenty of opportunities to talk to our different service areas. This is why Talkabouts will continue to take place at various communal spaces around the town. 

Tenants can attend these drop-in sessions that focus on various themes involving Ipswich Borough Council's service areas. This is a great opportunity to raise concerns, complaints and repairs within housing services. So please come along and join us, ask questions and raise concerns where staff, Tenant Voice Members and councillors will be on hand to help. Plus all the tea, coffee, soft drinks and biscuits are on us!
