6 News Tenants across the city are celebrating their neighbourhoods


Community pride A


LL over the city, tenants have been celebrating their communities. From gala days to family events, people have come together to take pride in their neighbourhoods.


In Penilee, the local gala day raised hundreds of pounds for a good cause.


Months of hard work by GHA staff and local residents in Cardonald led to the creation of a community garden in Craigton.


Some of our older tenants in Partick celebrated the diamond anniversary of their distinctive block of fl ats, Crathie Court.


And in Govan, residents got together to mark the end of GHA’s improvement work – as well as the rich and colourful history of the area itself.


GHA Chair Gordon Sloan said: “We want to help communities thrive and people to take pride in where they live.


“It’s great to see this in action. GHA has improved homes and neighbourhoods all over Glasgow – and it’s great to see communities coming together to celebrate their own areas.”
