Hornsey Housing forum – it’s the options again. The Government is insisting that councils consult their tenants over options for managing council properties. There are ALMOs (Arms Length Management Organisations), a couple of others and the status quo. If you ask me – it’s all a way of shifting cost and risk.  As for trying to get vast swathes of local residents to understand the variety of options – a massive task.  Haringey Council were putting on road shows for each estate, but were exposed in an email as suggesting that no one be notified much in advance of these exhibitions to avoid many people coming. You have to laugh – not!
