Maryhill Housing has been named as a winner in the 2017 Local Environmental Quality Awards from environmental charity Keep Scotland Beautiful.

The awards, now in their 12th year, celebrate the success from across the Keep Scotland Beautiful Local Environmental Quality Network in improving the cleanliness and quality of the environment.

Maryhill received the Improved Local Environmental Quality award for its work to enhance the environment in Maryhill and Ruchill. The Association helped tackle litter, flytipping and dog fouling across the area - making significant progress.

Pauline Haldane, Senior Housing Officer said: “Maryhill Housing is delighted to have won this most prestigious Award.

“We share Keep Scotland Beautiful’s vision of a better environment wherever people live and we have recently committed new resources and extra money to this vital task.

“We know from our tenants that this is what they expect of us and that environmental issues are a top priority for them. We will continue to drive forward our environmental agenda in the Ruchill and Maryhill areas of Glasgow.”
