The Housing Advisory Panel is made up of tenants and Councillors, who work together for the benefit of Wigan Council Tenants.
The Housing Advisory Panel will provide examination, scrutiny and challenge around services delivered to Wigan Council tenants. It will act as a source of advice for the Cabinet on issues of concern to tenants and leaseholders. It will provide and receive feedback via its members from other engagement forums and groups, ensuring that the tenant voice is at the heart of all housing services and promoting accountability. The Panel will provide leadership, challenge, and support in a constructive manner, sharing knowledge and experience as appropriate.

Scrutiny Panel
Our Scrutiny Panel members are known as Scrutineers. If our Housing Advisory Panel want to find out more about a particular area of our business, they request assistance from our Scrutineers. Scrutineers get the opportunity to look closely at how we work and take part in an in-depth review of our services. They will be able to ask questions of our workforce, attend meetings and delve deep into the inner workings of our organisation.
The scrutineers will then report their findings back to the Housing Advisory Panel, who will feedback those findings to the Board and suggest ways we can do things better.
