  • Wyndford, Collina Street and Other Areas Including Ruchill, Ruchazie and Pollok
    Cube Housing Association Investing In Our Futures www.cubehousing.co.uk Our local plan at Cube for the next five years For Wyndford, Collina Street, Ruchill, Ruchazie and Pollok Cube’s new five-year strategy, ‘Investing In Our Futures’, has been shaped by listening to feedback from our tenants about what is important to them. This leaflet tells you what this means for you and your local area between now and 2020. It sets out what local people told us their priorities were and what we plan to do in your community over the next five years. This leaflet covers the communities of Wyndford, Collina Street and other areas including Ruchill, Ruchazie and Pollok. What you told us In developing the plan, we engaged with customers through our ‘We’re here to help’ campaign, talking to people who live in our communities and capturing customers’ views on what we can do to make further improvements. Customers raised concerns about the environment and what people think of the Wyndford area. Over 250 customers attended an open day to give us their views. Better homes, better lives We’ve put forward ambitious plans that will transform this area. We have applied for funding from Scottish Government and Scottish Heritage Fund, which, if successful, will be matched by Cube’s parent company, Wheatley Group. Customers told us it was costing them a lot to contact Cube by phone. We have created a new freephone number – 0800 027 3456 – which is free from mobiles and landlines and is available 24 hour a day, 365 days a year.
