PERTH AND Kinross Council has introduced social media pages to help it communicat­e with its tenants.

The local authority has set up accounts on both Facebook and Twitter and will use them to provide tenants with the latest news and informatio­n.

The social media sites were launched after tenants told the council in last year’s satisfacti­on survey that they wanted to be kept better informed about ser vice changes and decisions which affected them. Less than a week after being set up, the Facebook page has 170 likes, while 60 people have begun following the Twitter feed.

Housing and health convener Dave Doogan, said: “Twitter and Facebook will enable us to further connect with our tenants and communicat­e informatio­n to them instantly about service changes, local events and events happening in their neighbourh­oods.

“We have reacted to what people told us in the tenant satisfacti­on survey by launching these new ways for our tenants to keep in touch with what’s going on. I would encourage all tenants to sign up to these valuable services.”

The Twitter feed is @ PKCTenants and there is a Facebook page for Perth and Kinross council tenants.
