Resident involvement

This group enables Croydon Council tenants and leaseholders to provide feedback on the publicity material, information and online content that is created for them. The role can be carried out online so there is no need to attend meetings. We can also help if you are not confident in using new technology or need some support getting involved online. Find out more.
