Region 2: Northern Lights

About Region 2

The Northern Lights Regional Network came into being in February of 2008 after four years of hard work by many people including tenants of the region.

Our Region covers:

  • Aberdeen City
  • Aberdeenshire
  • Moray
  • Orkney
  • Shetland

At our first Annual General Meeting on 2 February 2008 our constitution was formally ratified. Amendments were found necessary and at our last AGM on 21st May, 2011 these were approved, the revised Constitution is now available on this site.

We also have a communication strategy in place that helps to ensure that tenants are informed of what is happening and that their views are heard, as well as local authorities and housing associations.

Message from the Chair

The Network is now up and running and the committee is coming to terms with the task of building a process which will serve the Network efficiently and achieve the aspirations of all the members of the Network. We met with Stewart Maxwell, Minister for Communities and Sport, along with the other regional network members at the Firm Foundations event in Glasgow on 28 July 2008. During his address Mr Maxwell stressed that the Scottish Government want to use tenants' expertise and knowledge in shaping national policy and looked forward to working in Partnership.

Next Committee meeting is at Johnstone House, Rose Street, Aberdeen on 1st March 2012 at 1100.
