About us
East Lothian Tenants and Residents Panel (ELTRP)
East Lothian Tenants and Residents Panel (ELTRP) brings tenants and residents together to promote housing rights, strengthen local associations, and encourage community participation. Discover how ELTRP works, who can become a member, and how its Constitution supports representation, accountability, and collaboration across East Lothian.

Services & Support
At ELTRP, we are dedicated to supporting local tenants and residents groups by offering essential information and advice. We value your opinions and actively bring them to meetings with East Lothian Council, ensuring your voice influences policy and practice decisions. Together, we can create a positive impact in our community. We rely on you to be an integral part of this process!
Advice
The ELTRP Executive Committee consists entirely of dedicated volunteers who are committed to representing and supporting tenants across East Lothian. We are fortunate to have the support of a Development Officer and an Outreach Officer, both employed by the Tenants Information Service (TIS).
The Development Officer provides essential advice, guidance and support to our Executive Committee, helping to strengthen our organisation and develop our work on behalf of tenants. The Outreach Officer works directly with local tenants and residents’ groups, offering practical advice, support and guidance to help groups develop, overcome challenges and achieve their goals.
ELTRP is committed to ensuring tenants and tenants’ groups have access to the information, advice and resources they need to make their voices heard. We can help groups understand their rights, build their confidence, develop their skills and become more effective in representing the interests of their members.
Community Engagement
We invite you to participate in our regular events designed to keep you informed about our ongoing work and initiatives. These gatherings also serve as an opportunity for you to share your thoughts and suggestions on how ELTRP can better engage with tenants like you. Additionally, we are eager to hear your perspectives on any upcoming policy changes, including the annual rent consultation. Your views and opinions are the most crucial aspects of our efforts, and we truly cannot fulfill our responsibilities without your valuable input. We look forward to hearing from you and engaging in meaningful discussions!
Resources
ELTRP is delighted to offer a range of support services designed to help your group achieve its goals and thrive.
We provide access to meeting space, laptops and a range of equipment to support your meetings and activities, including projectors, screens, flipcharts and display boards. We also offer resources, materials and training opportunities to help your group develop its skills, build confidence and operate more effectively.
Whether you need a space to meet, equipment to support your activities or resources to help your group grow, ELTRP is here to support you.
