Dear Ms. Morgan 
Freedom of Information Act 2000 
Thank you for your request for information, received on 15 December 2009.  You 
requested: 
Does the council have any plans in the future to separate the costs of tenant 
participation from rents and show this service as a separate costing on the annual 
rent statements tenants receive? 
I beleive this will allow tenants to have a choice as to whether or not they wanted to 
pay for tenant participation depending on whether they actually received the service, 
how these funds are being spent and how accountably the tenants groups are. 
The last figure for how much tenant participation was costing tenants was in 2005 at 
£2-3m. 
We can confirm that the Council does not have any future plans to separate the cost of 
Tenant Participation in annual rents statements. 
We hope that the information is useful to you.
