  • Our Local Plan at GHA for the Next Five Years
    Glasgow Housing Association Investing In Our Futures www.gha.org.uk Our local plan at GHA for the next five years For Pollokshaws, Eastwood, Mansewood, Auldhouse, Shawlands and Crossmyloof GHA’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 Pollokshaws, Eastwood, Mansewood, Auldhouse, Shawlands and Crossmyloof. What you told us In developing this plan we engaged with tenants on their priorities during our customer conversations. We heard feedback on the need to continue to invest in our homes and communities, particularly for tenants who have not had external improvements due to sharing blocks with owners. Some tenants raised concerns about their neighbourhood, for example people wrongly believe there are higher levels of anti-social behavior. Other issues included the diverse range of people moving into areas/blocks since the new allocation policy was introduced. This was particularly the case for blocks which included many older people – for example the Cartcraigs multi and at Hillpark. This has been highlighted in our action plan. Better homes, better lives Other themes included environmental issues, soundproofing, repairs and maintenance, fuel poverty, rent levels and house sizes - particularly in Hillpark. Again, these issues have been prioritised in our action plan. Potential tenants told us during Housing Options interviews their priorities when deciding where they wanted to live included: • the condition of the house • safety and security • a clean and tidy environment • what the neighbourhood is like • the school catchment area and transport links • local connection to the area.
