Question
To ask the Scottish Government when it last met with the City of Edinburgh Council to discuss the Mixed Tenure Improvement Service, and whether the Minister for Housing will meet with Living Rent Edinburgh to hear its reported concerns.
Answered by McLennan, Paul - Minister for Housing
The Minister for Housing visited the Wester Hailes pilot on 4 July 2023 and met with local councillors, members of the City of Edinburgh Mixed Tenure Improvement Service (MTIS) Team and local tenants living in flats affected by the MTIS. Scottish Government officials meet City of Edinburgh Council regularly to discuss progress with the MTIS and any issues arising, most recently in July 2024 with another meeting expected in September.
Living Rent Edinburgh gave a deputation at the City of Edinburgh Council’s Housing, Homelessness and Fair Work Committee on 27 August 2024, after which they shared their concerns with council officials. The council have extended an invitation to Edinburgh Living Rent to hold regular meetings with them to discuss and agree options to improve local engagement.
MTIS is the responsibility of the City of Edinburgh Council and decisions related to service delivery are best discussed with the council.
