Search on for 'passionate' people

Aire Valley Homes Leeds is one of three organisations which manage and maintain council housing on behalf of Leeds City Council.

Its board is made up of 12 members, four of whom are tenants. Each year, a number of members stand down to give others the opportunity to take part and to make sure the board has the right mix of skills and experience.

At its meeting in November, the organisation is seeking to appoint two new tenant board members. One vacancy is for a tenant or leaseholder living anywhere in the Aire Valley Homes Leeds area, the other needs to be a tenant in Garforth, Kippax, Swarcliffe, Whinmoor or the surrounding villages.

Leeds City Council says tenant board members should be "passionate about housing''.
