LBTH Council unites over delinquent landlord Eastend Homes Ltd

Proposed by : Cllr Robbani
Seconded by : Cllr Suluk

The Council notes

• The petition submitted by residents on Bruce, Bernard, Carter and Barnett Houses expressing strident opposition to the proposed demolition of their homes

• The allegation by residents that East End Homes are in breach of the stock transfer agreement signed with the Council and considerable turnout at a march opposing demolition last week

• The importance of consultation and involvement of residents in all decisions made that affect them

This Council believes

• That where redevelopment occurs, it should always occur in the interests of residents

• That the petition brought to Council and action by BBC Residents shows the strength of feeling and community among many residents on this estate

This Council resolves

• To support the residents of Bruce, Bernard, Carter and Barnett Houses in asking that East End Homes sticks to the terms of the stock transfer agreement

• To insist upon transparent and genuine consultation in keeping with government guidelines

• To continue both supporting and holding to account all Social Landlords that we work with

• To ask the Lead Member to meet with EEH and representatives of petitioners to discuss the situation
