| In answer to your questions. I would not have posted it this was not fact. If you google FoI for housing associations, you will find Grant Shapps 2011 proposals. That does not mean he is a knight in shining armour, he has as most politicians do at some time in power all the right things but achieved very very little. His successor can't even manage that and needs a good prod. Hounslow MPs are well aware of the goings on at A2 Dominon but are rather inneffective at dealing with the problems. Currently, Housing Associations are immune from Freedom of Information requests and are becoming very secretive in their dealings, much of which is taxpayers funding. The excesses by the executive of one organisation is akin to the excesses of BBC executives which are available ( just ) for public scrutiny. Taking a closer look as several of my extended family are in accomodation now in the portfolios of A2 Dominion and Notting Hill and have been having many difficulties with anti social neighbours placed via local authorities and disrupting the lives of other residents. Both LBH, LBE and the associations just will not fulfill their duty of care to long term tenants and simply evade the issues. Tenants get a wall of silence or get leaned on to not complain. It has seriously damaged the well being of a close aunt in the family so my wife has been trying to help on her behalf. We have since seen lawyers, care workers and so on. We have had not a single reply from any councillors or the constituency MP apart from an acknowledgement. So we have dug deeper. The same names keep coming up, and yes we have a fair bit of evidence but it will be presented to the media or the approriate officials first. What is needed is FOI access to get to the bottom of what is going on as a great many people who pay their modest way are getting kicked around like footballs while organisations being funded and benefitting from local authority preferences and taxpayers money are failing them. And it is a lot worse than I have written on this forum. So I am asking for as many to lobby MPs and the Housing minister to represent Grant Shapps 2011 proposals. |
