The tenant particpation advisory service has appointed a new chair
Steve Meakin will replace Sara Thakkar, whose period as chair on the board had come to an end.
Mr Meakin, 60, who lives in Newcastle-under-Lyme, is a resident of housing association Aspire Group. He was awarded an MBE in 2006 for his work in the community. He said: ‘I’m delighted and honoured to be elected chair of TPAS. I am passionate about the tenants’ voice being heard, especially during a time of huge change in the social housing sector with the forthcoming welfare reforms.’
Thanks Sara and all the best in your new role to Steve
