Have your say on the future of local councils in Surrey

Take part in a landmark Government consultation on proposals to replace Surrey's current councils with up to three larger authorities. We support a three unitary approach - Find out more and read our consultation question guide.

Join us for a special online engagement session hosted by the Leaders of Guildford and Waverley Borough Councils on Thursday 3 July from 7pm to 8pm via Microsoft Teams. We'll explain what Local Government Reorganisation is, outline the different options being considered, and show you how to get involved. Sign up for the session (opens new window).

Tenants Engagement Group

Who are TEG?

The Tenants Engagement Group (TEG) are a group of volunteers of tenants and leaseholders who care about our homes and the people who live in them. They work with us to enable all our housing to be the best.

Joining TEG is a great way to get involved in your local community. It is also a way to help shape our housing service.

What do TEG do?

They have a key legal duty to check our housing services. This includes anti-social behaviour, property vacancies, and repair timeliness. It's a must for all councils to have a tenants group, as outlined in the governments Social Housing White Paper.

They provide a safe and independent contact for anyone who needs help or advice on housing.

Their mission

Their mission is to enhance lives and communities across Guildford Borough Housing. They want to ensure our homes and services meet the changing needs and expectations of our tenants.

They do this by teaming up with other tenants and leaseholders. Making sure everyone's homes are the best they can be.

They want to make sure that residents have a voice and that we value their opinions in decision-making.
