TPAS Chair Sara Thakker (pictured) warmly welcomed the achievement.  She said: “As the first Local Authority to gain the TPAS Landlord Accreditation Award Hull City Council have shown the way forward for Local Authorities both in terms of being excellent in involving tenants and in preparing for April 2010 when the Tenant Services Authority is due to take on regulation of local authority owned housing.

"This shows that housing excellence exists across all parts of social housing tenure”.

A statement from Hull City Council, said: “Hull City Council are proud to be the first local authority to obtain the prestigious TPAS accreditation for resident involvement.
