Tenants to have a say on services

Council tenants are being given the opportunity to shape the future of Edinburgh’s housing services with the launch of the Tenant Participation Strategy.

Tenants can participate in decisions to determine how the city’s housing stock will be developed.

Councillor Cammy Day, city housing leader, said: “This strategy is an open invitation to tenants to give us their views on what really matters to them. They have an important role to play in how the council provides housing and other related services.

“It’s important that tenants have a voice and this strategy gives them the opportunity. By taking part in the d process they can help contribute to the development of quality housing in this city.”

Betty Stevenson, convener of Edinburgh Tenants Federation, said: “We look forward to working with the council to ensure there are better housing conditions and services.”
