Get involved in your neighbourhood in Eastbourne

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 play an important role in shaping and developing the community, they are empowered to make decisions which affect the community and are made up of a group of local people, tenants and leaseholders who aim to improve the services that Homes First provide and the area you live in. Homes First staff provide support to the Panel.

All area panels meet along with Homes First Caseworkers on a monthly basis. They aim to enhance our area environmentally and your area panel is here to help all residents of Homes First with their problems or concerns. Residents' concerns are dealt with in complete confidence.
