Housing

Public access to the Housing Offices at Mastrick, Tillydrone and Woodside Fountain Centre is being stopped, in order to allow staff to focus on critical business issues, and to minimise the spread of the coronavirus.

Housing staff will be working to provide tenants with the support they need in critical business areas, specifically rent management and property management including letting.

Face to face contact will be restricted to providing support on Universal Credit and benefit claims, and viewings and lettings by appointment only. Tenants requiring assistance should visit our website or contact their local Housing Office.
