Proposed Rule Change
Published 31st July 2007.
The Co-operatives Management Committee is recommending two significant changes to the rules under which West Whitlawburn Housing Co-operative is governed.
- Adopt Charitable Model Rules
- Adopt Fully Mutual Status
The Management Committee believes these changes are important in order to protect the Co-operatives long term future. Co-operative members are being asked to vote at a Special General Meeting to decide on the Co-operatives future. These changes will be made if 75% of the members attending the Special General Meeting vote in their favour. The Special General Meeting is on Monday 20th August 2007 in Whitlawburn Community Resource Centre at 7pm.
Information
To help you decide on these proposed changes we are providing information via the web, through leaflets, staff contact and two independent advisers. Several information sessions have been arranged and all members are welcome to drop in and discuss the rule change with their independent advisors or with Co-operative staff. You can download the meeting schedule by clicking here.
A copy of the recent leaflet we sent to all tenant members can be downloaded here.
