The information below outlines the ways to get involved in your community if you are an Eastbourne tenant. Lewes District Council tenants can find out more information on the Get involved in your neighbourhood page.
What is the Area Panel?
Area panels are made up of local residents who meet on a monthly basis to discuss housing issues with the aim of improving the services that Homes First provide to the area you live in. They also play an important role in shaping and developing the area by allocating a community improvement budget to fund projects, enhance the local environment, and by running community events such as Christmas Fayres. The area panels can also help residents of Homes First with their problems or concerns in complete confidence.
The area panels are always looking for new members so if you would like to know more, please contact tenant.involvement@lewes-eastbourne.gov.uk.
