| "The whole social housing industry has become a shameless and rich pickings for the same old faces. Dodgy counclllors, developers and the type of people who buy care home businesses." Any evidence? "Grant Shapps in 2011 proposed that Housing Associations should be subject to FoI access. Then he got moved and his successor is a hopeless junior minister with about as much clout as a feather duster." Grant Shapps has an 'equivocal' position on FoI ( see: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/tory-chairman-grant-shapps-told-aides-to-suppress-emails-that-showed-he-misled-mps-8650263.html) The governments new useless web site gov.uk can of course throw no light on what happened to Shapps's good suggestion. Perhaps Anthony can, as he seems so knowledgeable? "Organisations like A2 Dominion and Notting Hill are increasingly awful landlords - almost as bad as the landlords that Housing Associations were created to counter and replace." Any evidence? "Questions have to be asked about the dealings between A2 Dominon and Hounslow Council. The cosy relationship between Cllr Curran and co. with such organisations and how A2 Dominion and United house get plum council contracts with such a poor record as landlords and their duty of care obligations." What questions should be asked? Have you asked them? Have you made FoI requests of your own? Any answers? "Well worth lobby MPs and the housing minister to push through the freedom of information access ." I agree "Open this gravy train can of worms and get it reformed." Any evidence that this is a 'gravy train can of worms"? "Something Labour of all parties seem terrified of." Any evidence? "Why? One wonders, might that be?" I haven't a clue if it is so. You obviously believe it to be the case and you obviously have a theory as to why. Perhaps you can share your theory? |
