A HOUSING association has proved it does more than just "collect rents".

Maryhill Housing Association says it is more engaged with residents than ever before, with the number of tenants groups increasing.

Edith Ward, vice chair of the association, said: "There are now more tenants and residents' organisations in place and our engagement with them is greater than ever.

"That, of course, is the mark of a well-run housing association - doing so much more than simply collecting the rent, and being deeply embedded in the life of the community."
