TENANTS’
NEWSLETTER AUTUMN 2012
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING This year’s AGM was very well attended. Our Chair Paul Torrance was able to report on another very successful year both financially and in terms of the level of tenant satisfaction with our services. He said “we’re conscious of the pressures our tenants face in terms of falling incomes and benefit changes. There is the real risk that these will have a knock on effect on our rental income and with it on the quality of service that we can offer. There remain real challenges as the UK Government’s so-called welfare reform is rolled out. I’m pleased to say though, thanks to our staff, that our performance in terms of rent collection and getting houses re-let as soon as possible remains excellent”.
We were delighted with the turn out from our competition entrants who received their certificates on the night.
We were also delighted to recognise the contribution of Ayrshire Housing’s longest serving Board Member, tenant Pearl Boyd. When her time with Carrick Housing Association is added, this translates into almost 20 years of voluntary service. It was unanimously agreed to make her Ayrshire Housing’s first Honorary President as a measure of recognition.
