Councillor Diane Docherty said: "It is so important that this strategy and the actions contained within it reflect the needs and wants of our tenants and residents and addresses the issues that matter most to our communities.

"We are keen to hear your views on the strategy and I'd encourage everyone to take part in the short survey."

In addition to the online survey a number of themed workshops, which are open to all, have been arranged to discuss the key topics in more detail.

Councillor Ian Dickson, Vice Convener of Housing and Communities, said "Feedback from the consultation will be used to inform the final strategy, so it's really important that you have your say now.

"As well as the survey, we hope the discussion which takes place at the workshops will help develop quality, deliverable and measurable actions for the strategy to take forward."

Following committee approval, it is anticipated that the final version of the strategy will be adopted later this year.

The consultation is open until 16 September.
