GET INVOLVED

Partick Housing, in its effort to promote closer links between itself and the community, helped to set up Partick United Residents’ Group (P.U.R.G.).

This Group has gone from strength to strength and has just recently held its fourth Annual General Meeting. The Group has acted as a pressure group to bring about a number of environmental improvements in the area, for example:

• Campaign for greater resources in the area from the Cleansing Department

In addition to the above, P.U.R.G. in consultation with our other participation group, Fortrose House Residents’ Association, have been actively involved in reviewing relevant policies of the Association such as the Allocations Policy and the Rent Policy

If you would like to learn more about P.U.R.G. please contact the Association or if you would like to join, please download the application form here or pop into our office and pick one up. You will be sure of a very warm welcome at PURG’s meetings which are held every month in the Stewartville Street Annexe.
