Neighbourhood Management
We want to ensure that the neighbourhood is attractive, well-maintained and a safe place to live. In order to make this happen we have to effectively manage the environment around our properties and any common areas.
Estate management incorporates many different services, some of which are not provided by us but by external agencies, such as Glasgow City Council.
We aim to work in partnership to ensure the area you live in is of a high standard, however it is important that you report any issues you see to the correct agency directly, and take responsibility for the part you play in keeping the area clean and tidy.
What is Glasgow City Council responsible for?
