Find hints and tips on engaging with your
local MPs and councillors. Help them make the connection with your
tenants - their constituents.
Your local MP is an important figure in the community,
representing the interests of your tenants in Parliament. They also
legislate on issues that affect the future of your
organisation.
For these reasons it is vital that MPs are
aware of the work your association does for local people. They need
to see for themselves the great schemes
you run to support tenants and the high standard of the affordable
housing you provide them.
