New rules came into force in Scotland on 6 October 2026 to help protect tenants dealing with damp and mould.

If you report a problem to your landlord, the new requirements set out clear timescales for what happens next:

• 10 working days to investigate reports of damp or mould.
• 3 working days after the investigation to provide the findings in writing.
• 5 working days to begin necessary repairs where substantial damp or mould is found.

The changes aim to make sure problems are investigated and addressed more quickly, helping people live in safer, healthier homes.

Find out more about the new rules and what they mean for you in the Scottish Government guidance: https://brnw.ch/21x6PWe

🎄🎁 **EASTERHOUSE FOOTBALL ACADEMY CHRISTMAS GIVING TREE** 🎁🎄

We're delighted to be bringing back our Christmas Toy Appeal again this year! ❤️

We all know how expensive Christmas can be, and for some families it's a really difficult time of year. We want to do what we can to help take a wee bit of that pressure off and make sure local kids have something special to open on Christmas morning. 🎅🎁

**This is open to EVERYONE in the community, not just families involved with the football academy!**

🎁 **Need a wee helping hand this Christmas?**

Please don't be afraid to put in a request. Everything is completely confidential and only a small number of organisers will have access to your details. There's absolutely no judgement, we're just here to help! ❤️

You can submit your request using the form below. If you're applying for more than one child, please fill in a separate form for each.

👇 **REQUEST A TOY HERE:**
https://forms.gle/12ETTqkC33VqC6AX9

🎄 **Want to help out?**

From the 16th of November, our Giving Tree will be up at FarePlay Stepford. You can pop along, pick a tag from the tree and buy a gift for a local child. Even one gift can make such a difference!

📅 **A few important dates:**

🎁 13th November – Last day to request a toy

🎄 16th November – Giving Tree goes up

🏷️ 7th December – Last day to collect a tag

🎅 11th December – All wrapped gifts to be returned with their tags to FarePlay Stepford

If you've got any questions, just give Danny a message on 07818 434976 or me (Sam) on 07411 583640.

Whether you're needing a wee bit of help this year or you're lucky enough to be in a position to help someone else, we'd love you to get involved. ❤️

**Please give this a share!** The more people we reach, the more families we can hopefully help. And you never know who on your friends list might really need to see this. 🥰

Let's pull together and make Christmas that wee bit more magical for our local kids! 🎄❤️🎁

Casework win 👏

I recently got in touch with a property firm on behalf of a constituent who had been facing ongoing issues with their flat.

After intervention from my office, the constituent received a £300 rent rebate.
