Agreement gives council tenants voice on housing

Council tenants will be able to shape the city’s housing services after the green light was given to include them in future decisions.

The Tenant Participation Strategy 2012-2015 was approved at a meeting of the housing committee.

The strategy, which is a renewal of an existing agreement, builds on previous tenant participation events organised by the city council and the Edinburgh Tenants Federation.

Betty Stevenson, convenor of the Edinburgh Tenants Federation, said: “We look forward to working with the council to ensure there are better housing conditions and services by involving tenants in decision making.”
