Tenant, Jim Leonard, attended this year's conference. He said: "The new format is a great improvement and proved popular with delegates. Everyone enjoyed the topics discussed, which were all relevant to North Lanarkshire in 2019. The conferences were well represented by NLC staff and opportunities were available to speak to those in attendance."

Thanks to North Lanarkshire Federation who gave the closing remarks and to Mears and Saltire for sponsoring the events.

Tracy Lennon, Tenant Participation Manager, was involved in organising the event. She said: "This year's tenant events were very well attended and this is testament to the greater role our tenants and residents are playing in the delivery of North Lanarkshire Council's Housing Services.

"It's always great to speak directly with tenants and residents using our services. To gauge first-hand the positives and sometimes negatives, gives us valuable feedback that allows us to further develop services. We now have more tenants than ever participating in consultations and events and we're increasing our satisfaction levels too.

"I look forward to reading the event evaluation and I would like to take this opportunity to encourage tenants to get involved - it's never too late."
