Cordale Housing Association is now recruiting for its Management Committee – a group which has helped transform Renton over the last 15 years and been involved in developments such as the new very sheltered housing in the village.

The Committee – which comprises of local people of all ages who share a common interest in improving the area – may also be involved in shaping plans for Alexandria and Dumbarton where Cordale believes it can achieve similar success.

In the last year, Cordale has achieved planning permission for Scotland’s biggest social housing development at Dalquhurn and progressed with construction work on Renton’s first very sheltered housing for older people in the village. It has also developed plans for the regeneration Alexandria town centre and has been in talks with resident groups from three areas in Dumbarton about how Cordale can transform their communities.

All you need to get involved is enthusiasm and a desire to make a difference. Full training is provided. Committee Members must attend 10 Management Committee meetings a year, as well as participate on a sub-committee. The Management Committee will be re-elected at the annual general meeting on Friday 12 September 2008.

As well as the Committee, Cordale is also seeking new members for the Association, and this is not restricted to residents.  Membership of Cordale only cost £1 for life membership and is open to anyone over 18 years of age (or 16 year for tenants).

Cordale has invested almost £35m in the local economy during the last 10 years and plans to inject a further £50m-plus over the next five years as it builds more 279 new homes for rent and sale.
Many of its plans and initiatives are developed in response to residents’ wishes and needs.
