| Activities
Since being established in November 1993, North View has secured more
than £21million of funding and spent it on improving the Windlaw
area for the benefit of the people who live here.
Back then North
View covered only a small bit of Windlaw, but the last decade has seen
the Association grow to become the majority landlord in the area and
replace Scottish Homes as the feu superior of the estate. Much of the
growth can be attributed to building new houses, but most of it is down
to the continuing success of Tenants Choice.
Tenant's
Choice
North View received its first Tenants Choice application in September
1998. Since then more than 350 Scottish Homes Windlaw tenants have taken
the opportunity to transfer. This, coupled with the Association’s
development programme has resulted in its stock base increasing to just
over 600 rented properties.
Adaptations
North View has carried out more than £150,000 worth of alteration
work to more than 200 properties so that residents affected by long-term
injury, illness, or disability can use their home more easily. This
really makes a difference to people’s lives! It is an area of
work that we are becoming more and more involved in.
Welfare
Rights
North View tenants have access to a Welfare Rights Officer. This service
has been available to our tenants for years. It is very popular and
very successful. It has benefited many tenants.
Wider
Role
We have always done Wider Role work, it is just that we didn’t
call it that! The last few years have seen us develop our Wider Role
Strategy and become more effective in its delivery.
Over the years we've
worked with other agencies to provide training and employment opportunities
for dozens of Castlemilk residents, and through our ongoing development
programme have created apprenticeships for three young people from Castlemilk
- but it goes beyond training and employment. We are also focussed on
community issues!
Last year, after
consulting with our tenants, North View paid £20,000 towards installing
the two CCTV cameras in Windlaw. In our current development in Stravanan
Road, we're responding to the information technological revolution by
providing free equipment and internet access for all thirty four tenants
that will move into the houses.
Development
Our eighth development project is due for completion in May. This may
be our final development and already the focus is swinging towards maintenance
and Wider Role activities.
