Getting Your Group Recognised by Inverclyde Council
As a responsible provider of low cost housing, Inverclyde Council recognises the need to work in partnership with tenants’ and residents’ groups who democratically represent local tenants.
In order to make sure such groups are representative and accountable any group wishing to be recognised by the Council must meet basic recognition criteria.
