WDTRO CHAIRPERSON UPDATE – SUMMER 2024
I’m writing this in place of our chairperson Frances McGonagle again as she continues to recuperate, and we wish her a speedy recovery.
Walkabouts play an important role in giving tenant groups as well as individual tenants a chance to inspect their street or area and raise issues with the relevant officers from the Council. In Tullichewan, we have regular walkabouts and they work very well. We get issues addressed quickly and updates provided.
Not everyone though has such a positive experience and that is why the WDTRO raised the issue at a WDC/WDTRO liaison meeting which take place every two months. As a result, the walkabout process was reviewed and tightened up and they will now be monitored at the liaison meetings to ensure there is consistency.
It was great to attend the tenant event in June at Clydebank Town Hall. It is good to get together with other tenants involved in the various tenant participation opportunities. It is encouraging to see what others are doing and gives you motivation to keep going.
Our motto is that tenants together have a stronger voice and I truly believe that. If anyone has an issue they think we should be looking at please get in touch.
