The conference, themed ‘Shaping Communities: Then, Now & Next’, provided an opportunity to review past achievements, discuss ongoing work, and set priorities for the future. Provost Kenneth Duffy attended the event alongside tenants, council staff, elected members, and partners.
Key topics covered included tenant engagement, improvements in retirement housing, the digital connectivity masterplan, an estates improvement pilot, and future community priorities. Tenants had direct engagement with housing service personnel, participated in discussions, and posed questions to the housing team. A rent consultation session also allowed for input on issues affecting their homes and communities.
“"Our tenants are at the heart of everything we do, and events like this are an important opportunity to listen, share ideas and work together. I’d like to thank everyone involved in organising the conference, as well as all the tenants who took the time to come along and contribute. Your views, experiences and suggestions help us shape our housing services and make a real difference to communities across North Lanarkshire. We want to keep these conversations going, so I’d encourage tenants to look out for future participation events and opportunities to get involved. Your voice matters, and we want to hear from you."
