💬 “Tenant participation has matured over the last 25 years- but the world around it has changed.”

Our State of Play research is underway, and we’re continuing to invite tenants and social landlords across Scotland to take part.
Through our tenant and landlord surveys, we’re gathering a wide range of experiences of tenant participation to build a clear national picture of what’s working well and what could be improved. This insight will inform evidence based recommendations to strengthen meaningful tenant participation in the years ahead.

We’d love to hear what you think.

We’d really appreciate support in sharing this widely to help reach as many tenants and social landlords as possible!

🚨 SCAM CALL ALERT 🚨
We’ve been made aware that someone has been calling tenants from 0330 174 1831, claiming to be working in partnership with our Housing Repairs team.

This number is NOT associated with the Council.

There will be times when we contact you to arrange repairs, but this will always be from 01563 555555. If you ever get a call and aren’t sure it’s really us, please hang up and call 01563 555555 to double‑check.

Remember to never share personal information like your name, address or bank details with unexpected callers.

Please share this with older or vulnerable neighbours to help keep them safe from scams.
