Scrutiny Panel Volunteers

Posted on February 3, 2017

Falkirk Council is looking for residents to volunteer with the Scrutiny Panel.

The group look at various services within housing (including repair services) and makes recommendation for improvement; for example, the panel thought the condition of the vacant properties could be improved prior to letting them, by stripping existing wall paper and décor (if it was in a poor condition), and painting and plastering the walls, ready to be decorated.

Panel volunteers will be provided with full training.

For further information regarding this opportunity, please contact the Volunteer Team by phone: 01324 692000, or email: info@cvsfalkirk.org.uk
