Highland tenant participation efforts praised
Highland’s housing and property committee has praised the hard work and creative ways council staff and community groups have adopted during the Covid pandemic to keep in touch with tenants.
At the start of the latest meeting members heard how officers and tenants had found new active ways of engaging.
Most of the regular tenant meetings have restarted via videoconferencing and many tenants had received training and equipment to assist them with the new digital engagement.
Chair Cllr Ben Thompson said: “Tenant participation is more important than ever before to make sure people are receiving the right support and it is great to see such community spirit spread across our communities.
"People are finding new ways to connect and adapt how they can stay in touch. These following examples and all the other wonderful work tenant groups are doing in their communities is inspiring and we congratulate everyone for adapting and finding new ways of giving help, and nurturing a true sense of community where it is most needed.”
