Initially as treasurer of the Management Committee, then in 1993 as Vice Chairperson and in 1995 assumed the lead role as Chaiperson of West Whitlawburn Housing Co-operative, which Susan discharged with remarkable aplomb and skill for many years. A bright, determined, strong character with a real sense of community interest and values, Susan is a very popular local figure.

Gritting and Severe Weather Implications

Corporate Services — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 13:20:10 +0000

Tenants will be well aware that the predicted snow has now arrived. The Co-operative has put in place a regular programme of gritting to ensure that paths, carparks and walkways are kept as safe as possible at all times.

The severe weather may also dislodge slabs and we ask you to take extra care when out and about as we cannot immediately repair the damage due to the ongoing weather conditions. We would also ask tenants to report any faults to Concierge or to the office to allow us to react as quickly as possible.

Thank you for your co-operation.
