Mr Shepherd has been a tenant for 14 years and is currently a tenant representative for the Decent Homes modernisation work being carried out in Low Edges.
The married father-of-four is also a former board member of the Norfolk Park Tenants and Residents Association and plans to use his experiences of bringing up a young family to help deliver services to benefit families and young people.
Mr Greenwood, a council tenant of 35 years, is treasurer of the Badger estate TARA and says he will use his experience of neighbourhood issues while working on the board.
