What Falkirk Council must do
- Falkirk must: - improve its rent arrears performance and tell us when it has delivered the necessary improvements; - complete the outstanding electrical safety work as quickly as possible; and - send us monthly updates on progress on achieving compliance with electrical safety requirements. Each update should include the latest projected timescale for achieving full compliance.

About this register

The Scottish Housing Regulator publishes an annual engagement plan for every registered social landlord and council landlord, and — rarely — a statutory intervention report where it has used its powers under the Housing (Scotland) Act 2010. Required actions and intervention narratives are copied verbatim from SHR's published documents.
