Involvement opportunities

Have your say

Getting involved at Selwood Housing means our customers can influence services and make a real difference. It’s important our customers share their thoughts, opinions and ideas as this leads to better decision making, improved services and increased satisfaction.

Throughout the year, we have lots of different opportunities for our customers to get involved and we often offer rewards in return. You don’t need any previous experience and we have lots of ways for you to get involved, depending on how much time you can spare.

Please note that all our projects/opportunities are subject to change and may not be open to all customers. Please read the description carefully before registering your interest.

Aids and adaptations review

Aids and adaptations are specific modifications made to assist individuals with mobility, disabilities, or other health-related needs. ​These adaptations, such as installing grab rails, stairlifts, or accessible showers, are designed to improve the safety and accessibility of the home for the customer.​

We recognise that from time to time our customers may require adaptations to their home for them to continue living there. Our policy sets out how Selwood Housing will deal with requests for aids or adaptations to a customer’s property. This may be a direct request or where a tenant has secured funding from an appropriate local authority.

We would like to invite you to join our focus group to help us review our current policy and ensure we are providing clear and understandable information for all customers.

Succession policy review

This policy sets out the rights a person has to succeed to a tenancy on the death of a tenant, and the principles under which we will grant discretionary succession rights to a person who has no such rights.

Due to legal restrictions, there is very little scope for change within this policy as we must remain compliant. However, it is important that we keep our customers informed and would like to invite you to join our focus group to find out more about the legalities and restrictions, review our messaging on how we explain this and deal with sensitive situations.

Date: Tuesday 4 February 2025
Time: 2pm – 3.30pm
Venue: Selwood Housing office, Bryer Ash Business Park, Trowbridge, BA14 8RT

Licence review

Selwood Housing occasionally receive requests from people wishing to either purchase land from us or be given access rights to use it.  These requests can be for various reasons, including creation of allotments, grazing animals, increasing parking etc. Requests come from both customers and private residents.

Our current licence policy sets out the principles we apply when assessing these requests to grant a licence to use land in our ownership. We do not consider licences for land currently being used or set aside for any other purpose, e.g. development.

We would like to invite you to join our focus group to review our current licence policy.  We need your help to ensure the content of the new policy is clear and understandable and the decision-making processes are fair and reasonable.

Date: Thursday 13 February 2025
Time: 10am – 11.30am
Venue: Selwood Housing Office, Bryer Ash Business Park, Trowbridge, BA14 8RT
