🎉 Customer Voices Conference 2026! 🎉

Yesterday, tenants and housing staff came together to celebrate the second annual Customer Voices Conference.

It was a fantastic day, shaped and supported by members of the Tenant Participation and Coordination Group. A huge thank you to Thomas, Margaret and Sheena who spoke through out the day at the Conference!

The event highlighted the value of working together, sharing experiences, and ensuring that customer voices remain at the heart of housing services.

It's especially fitting to reflect on such a positive day as we mark Scottish Housing Day today. Thank you to everyone who contributed and helped make the conference such a success! 🏠

10 Years of Scrutiny!

Last week, the South Lanarkshire Tenants Development Support Project delivered the annual "Scrutiny: Taking Stock" session, where tenants and staff came together to discuss the scrutiny process and explore how we can continue driving positive change across South Lanarkshire.

This year marks 10 years of scrutiny, and the session was a wonderful way to celebrate this significant milestone. It provided an opportunity to reflect on achievements to date while looking ahead to future improvements and opportunities for tenant involvement.

If you're interested in getting involved, please contact Hannah Beaton, Tenant Participation and Engagement Officer, on 07966 378273 or by email at [email protected]

🙌 The Customer Scrutiny Group has been working with Housing Services since 2016 to help improve services for tenants.

🙌 Reaching 10 years of scrutiny is a fantastic achievement and a real landmark for everyone involved!
