The CLYDEBANK Housing Association (CHA) recently held its 39th Annual General Meeting (AGM). 

It was held in Whitecrook Community Centre, where shareholders were welcomed by Catherine Boyle, CHA’s chairperson, who detailed the work staff and Management Committee members had been doing in the year to focus on the health and wellbeing of residents alongside investing significantly in tenant’s homes and reviewing key risks facing the organisation.

Shareholders then heard from Joe Farrell, Head of Housing Services, as to how CHA had performed favourably in terms of performance during the year.

Joe also advised that tenancy support was a major priority in the year ahead.

It was then time to hand over to Lynette Lees, chief executive, who reported on the association’s annual accounts and financial position at the year-end, concluding that CHA‘s finances remain robust with stable cash balances.

Long service awards were then issued to five Committee Members before Councillor Lawrence O’Neill presented a gift on behalf of Clydebank Provost, Douglas McAllister, to John Hillhouse, on his retirement from the Association’s Management Committee after 35 years service.

Councillor O’Neill commented, “John is a shining example of someone who has volunteered selflessly, and his experience, knowledge and dedication will be missed by his fellow members of the Management Committee, the Clydebank housing staff team and the tenants and residents."
