Consultation Ended: February 1st 2008

The new powers and procedures introduced by the Housing (Scotland) Act 2006 are as yet untried and offer both risks and opportunities.  The Council has to make sure that they are used as effectively as possible in order to deliver a more vigorous and effective approach to addressing problems in the city's older private housing.  To do this we will need to strengthen our partnerships with all those involved. 

The purpose of this Consultation Draft Older Private Housing Strategy is to help in building those partnerships, and to ensure that new policies and programmes are developed with the involvement of the full range of stakeholders, on the basis of a comprehensive analysis of the problems and issues. 

The Consultation ran from October 2007 to 1st February 2008.  The Council was keen to have the widest possible response to this consultation, and to learn from it.  Everyone with an interest in older private housing in the city was urged to take part.
