Two new tenants have been elected to represent thousands from across Wear Valley on the board of the company which managed their council homes.
Kenneth Godard, 62, from the Watergate area of Crook, and Chris Smith, 57, from West Auckand, won the poll of tenants for representatives to the board of Dale & Valley Homes.
They will take up their positions after the company’s AGM in September.
David Sanders, director of resources for Dale & Valley Homes, said: “We have five customer representatives on the board and they rotate regularly.
“We are really pleased with the number of tenants who voted in this election, it shows that our customers genuinely value the opportunities we provide to become involved at every level of the company.
“The staff and directors are looking forward to beginning working with the new board members.”
