Welcome to the ELTRP website!
​
East Lothian Tenants and Residents Panel (ELTRP) is the independent umbrella organisation for tenants and residents groups in East Lothian

​We work with East Lothian Council and others' to improve services received by tenants and residents and improve their local community.

We offer support, training and information to help groups address local issues.  ​We also organise consultation events to seek feedback from tenants and residents from within East Lothian about specific issues raised and so much more.

WINDSOR PARK COMMUNITY 

From 1996 to November 2018 Windsor Park had an active Tenants and Residents Association, this represented the Community in conjunction with East Lothian Tenants and Residents Panel. 

Being involved in the association gives you an active part in decision making with regards to Housing and Environmental issues and working in partnership with East Lothian Council. 

One of our first projects was a swing park where children in the area were involved in the content and design.  There were issues with regards to back lanes hence gates were put in place and keys issued and overgrown green areas attended to.

In order to bring the community together we had street parties celebrating special occasions such as the Queen’ Golden Jubilee and Royal Weddings. 
Pinkie St. Peter’s School was given Trophies to present to Pupils for achievement in education and sport. 

In the present climate of Covid-19 it is more important that communities work together not only on housing and environmental issues but also in the community - looking out for our neighbours’ and each other. 

Some members of the community are interested in setting up the group again; if you would like to be part of a Tenants’ and Residents Association in the Windsor Park area please get in touch. 

Please contact Sue Cairns, Outreach Officer at East Lothian Tenants and Residents Panel at scairns@tis.org.uk.
