The City of Lincoln Council has brought in a group of volunteer tenants to inspect empty council houses in the city to ensure there is high standards across all properties.
The residents will go round recently-vacated and empty council homes to decide if they are up to standard after refurbishment work is complete and before being offered to a new tenant.
The first batch of inspectors, who come from a variety of backgrounds, will begin training next week.
The two-hour training session introduces them to the scheme before they go out to homes to carry out their examinations.
They will then give their views on a range of potential issues within a house.
Chris Morton, Tenant Liaison Officer at the council, said: “It is really important for us as a council to offer the best possible housing to our tenants.
“So by letting these inspectors go in, we can get honest opinions from people who have first hand experience of the tenancy programme themselves.
“If they spot any issues, we can send someone in to get it fixed before the new tenants move in.”

Schools and universities in Lincolnshire recognise the potential benefits, but also the concerns, over the use of artificial intelligence.
The results of the government’s first ever Call for Evidence on Artificial Intelligence in Education’ report were published on Tuesday, November 28. It was open for 10 weeks and closed on August 23 this year, with 567 responses received during that time. Most respondents were “broadly optimistic” about the use of GenAI in education.
Almost two months on from Network Rail stating it had implemented “new cleaning regimes” for its railway bridge on Brayford Wharf East, the same concerns of graffiti, dirt and moss growth are continuing — and we are no clearer on how regularly the bridge is cleaned.
The bridge, which opened in 2019 in a bid to improve public safety on the railway crossing, is regularly used by many commuters and residents in Lincoln, but it has been the topic of a cleanliness discussion for many months now.
