Tenant participation is a partnership between tenants, Councillors and housing staff to work together towards a common goal of better housing conditions and housing services.
There are a number of groups in the West Dunbartonshire area and while most areas are represented there are some pockets where we do not have a tenants association. If you would like further information on the groups or how to set up a group view the pages on the left.
How Do I Get Involved?
There are several ways to be involved. You can set up a tenants association in your area or join an existing association. You can also attend the public meetings held by the association in your area.
How Do I Contact An Existing Tenants Association?
There is a register of the tenants organisations held at Council headquarters, Garshake Road, Dumbarton. The register lists the contact for each group. The register also has the constitution of the group and a map of the area the group represents.
How Do I Start a New Tenants Association?
Please read the terms and conditions for registering a tenants group. For further information you should contact the tenant participation staff on the meet the team webpage.
The tenant participation staff can help with:
- Advice on how to start a new group
- Training and advice on housing issues
- An annual grant for administration costs
- A community base for group activities.
