Local resident group
Who are the Thanet Tenant and Leaseholder Group (TTLG)?
The TTLG are a local group of Thanet District Council tenants and leaseholders.
They are a non-political Group that represent the views and interests of tenants and leaseholders across the Thanet district.
What does the TTLG do?
The TTLG meets on a quarterly basis to discuss local issues with the Council. The group have worked on many community projects over the years to help improve the estates for residents who live there.
TTLG members receive regular training to make sure that they have the skills to work effectively with housing staff on behalf of the tenants and leaseholders they represent.
The group play a big role in the annual Thanet Garden Competition, in which they are successful in securing sponsorship.

Estate inspections
*Covid-19 Update*
Unfortunately, due to social distancing guidelines, our Housing Officers are currently conducting Inspections without Resident Involvement. Fire and safety inspections are still being held as usual but we ask that residents do not attend Inspections until we receive further government advice on the matter. 2020/21 dates will be published as soon as government guidelines allow. Thank you for your understanding.
