Tenant participation has grown substantially over the last decade,
following government legislation, advice from professional bodies
and development agencies, and promotion by all major political
parties. On few housing issues is there such concensus. Yet, in
practice, it is obvious that participation can mean very different
things in different contexts. This book explains why this is the
case, and examines the growth of participation in the context of
changes in the role of local authorities and their relationship
with their electorates. These issues are examined in the first part
of the book, which sets the context for exploring the roles of
housing managers, councillors, tenants and tenant's associations in
the second part. The book argues that the rise in arrangements for
tenant participation masks considerable differences in the role
played by tenants in different areas. These differences raise
questions about the nature of power in the tenant-landlord
relationship and more generally in the relationship between local
government, citizens and consumers. These issues are examined in
the final, third, part of the book.
