East Lothian Council
Draft Tenant Consultation Strategy 2016
East Lothian Council’s Draft Tenant Consultation
Strategy 2016 is currently being reviewed. The draft
has been put together by our TP Strategy Group
which consists of staff and tenant representatives
and we would really like to hear your views on it.
The Strategy is usually have a 3 year strategy
however we are asking for views on this and would
like to know if you think it should cover a longer
period of say 4 or 5 years. Please be aware that we
are only consulting on the text and the final
document will be professionally designed so will look
different from this current version.
We would really like to hear your comments and
would appreciate it if you could give us your
feedback, any responses can be emailed to myself by
Friday 4th March 2016. At the end of the
consultation period the TP Strategy Group will
consider the responses and agree any changes to the
draft.
Thank you for taking the time to get involved.

ooooOoooo
Wowed by the phenomenal achievements of young
people, we created a dedicated annual event to
celebrate young people and launched the Sunday
Mail Young Scot Awards in 2006, which you may
have heard of or even attended.
The most important part of these Awards is that
they shine a light on the positive contributions
young people make every day – whether that is
through volunteering, fundraising, going the extra
mile to help others, overcoming huge obstacles or
stepping up to tackle injustice.
We are already busy planning for the 2016 Awards
which will take place at the EICC on the 27th April.
Nominations have opened and we have had an
overwhelming response so far, again highlighting the
amazing contribution that young people are making
in their communities.
Nominations close on the 24th February and we
need your help for the final push. We would love
you to nominate young people in your area for an
Award to ensure that as many incredible young
people from your community are nominated. We
would also be delighted if you could encourage
nominations by telling people about the Awards,
directing them to the dedicated Young Scot Awards
website where they can find a full list of categories
and nomination forms and by joining the
conversation on social media by using #YSAwards16.
