In addition, tenant participation should be a backbone of - the strategy according, to its author and some concern was expressed by. councillors at the meeting about recent attendance levels at housing forums. : Various ideas were discussed about how tenants could be encouraged to become more involved. Coun. Mar­ garet Sutcliffe (Clitheroe) suggested that a housing department newspa­ per could be set up with contribu­ tions from tenants welcomed. ■ It was agreed by the committee to "beef" up the section on tenant par­
