A HOUSING association been given a reputable status after a poor investigation left them forced with an intervention. 

Dalmuir Park Housing Association have been given a clean bill of health from the Scottish Housing Regulator.

The association has been transformed over the last two years by adding a new chief executive, chairperson and management committee to the team.

Anne Marie Brown, who took up her role as chief executive at Dalmuir Park in January this year, said the association can now look forward with confidence and continue its vital work.

She said: “This is excellent news and another step forward for Dalmuir Park.
“The committee and staff have worked tirelessly to create a brighter future for Dalmuir Park Housing Association.

“Dalmuir Park has undoubtedly turned the corner and we remain focused on our vital work in the community we serve.”

Dalmuir Park Housing Association was formed in 1977 and registered originally to undertake urgent improvements to around 900 tenements in the area.

The association currently owns and manages 689 homes and provides factoring services to 168 owners including two sheltered housing complexes and 24 “shared ownership” homes.

It also provides out-of-school care for up to 100 young people.

The Scottish Housing Regulator said: “We had been engaging with Dalmuir Park Housing Association about its governance. 

“We have now received sufficient assurance that Dalmuir Park has addressed the previously identified weaknesses and we don’t require any further assurance from Dalmuir Park at this point in time.”
