Spring Conference
09:30 - 16:30
Saturday 26 February 2005
Pearce Institute, Govan
Cost - £12
Concessions - £2
Wheelchair Access*
Creche available by arrangement
This conference ran successfully and participants enjoyed a day of stimulating ideas and argument, along with some very well informed analysis of the recent Glasgow Demand survey.
The Scottish Monitoring Group is currently preparing reports from the day which will be published on the Conference Papers section of this website. Meantime, some of the papers delivered at the conference are already there. More will follow.
As we approach the second anniversary of the GIasgow Stock Transfer this event will consider housing and homelessness issues in Glasgow. It will review the progress of all the promises made for stock transfer by Glasgow City Council and the Scottish Executive, and consider the economic and social implications for other local authorities contemplating transfers.
This event is not an opportunity for polemic but a serious critique of whole stock transfer and its effects on tenants, especially vulnerable tenants, waiting lists, and the ever deteriorating conditions in some housing and communities. (For recent pictures from Govan, click here). Contributions will not be based on dogma but on coal-face experience.
