THOUSANDS of people in multi-storey apartments will receive a guide on rights and responsibilities.

The Gateshead Housing Company guide has been produced with the help of tenants in the borough.

The guide contains information about the standards of service residents can expect, their responsibilities and how people can get involved in making services better.

The guide, which is being sent to tenants and leaseholders in the 29 high-rise blocks in the borough, will be reviewed annually with tenants.
