The Group is also in discussions with Dumfries & Galloway Housing Partnership ("DGHP"), a Registered Social Landlord with approximately 10,300 properties in the south-west of Scotland, for DGHP to join the Group in a constitutional partnership. Following a ballot of DGHP's tenants, where a resounding 95.5% were in favour of the proposals on a 75.2% turnout, an Extraordinary General Meeting of its members will be held on 12th December 2019 for final approval to enter into the partnership.

Note that the forecasts set out in the Wheatley Group's Mid-Year Business Update do not include the potential impact of DGHP joining the Group.
