Partnering
Opportunities : Most residents
will know that we work with our Renfrewshire Housing Association
partners, FLAIR, and have done so for many years. A copy
of our latest Annual Review is available. Please click here.
We are now also working
with Inverclyde local associations to form I-FLAIR. We see
the benefits of future partnerships working for the development
of new housing, but also for potential financial savings
through tendering for our planned maintenance programmes.
The Scottish Government would wish us to see benefits for
delivering bigger programmes at reduced costs ! We are now
in the process of developing a separate website for IFLAIR
- so watch this space for more details soon.
