Billions of taxpayers money wasted by council on PFI schemes says Gazette

Residents will pay almost £1billion into the hands of big business and banks as a result of expensive contracts agreed by Islington Council.

Treasury figures obtained by the Gazette show £358million was borrowed from Private Finance Initiative (PFI) schemes, which will rocket to £1.3 billion – almost four times the initial outlay – by the time it is paid off in 2037.

This means £943million extra will be paid by Islington taxpayers, though this figure does include maintenance on the projects for the length of the contracts.  more

My upstairs neighbour has flooded me again!

LEASEHOLDER NITTY GRITTY - What do you do about it?

Twice now, my leaseholder neighbour living upstairs has sent water through my ceiling to drip on my furniture and carpets. First their faulty toilet, then their washing machine overflowed. Actually, the leaseholders were different because the upstairs property changed hands between the two events.   More..

Disband HFI petition update

QUICK UPDATE ON THE PETITION: Although the Council’s website only notes 1,655 signatures we have collected a further 600+ paper forms (and counting) which takes out total to date to approximately 2,400. The petition continues to grow and will be presented to the Council in November before the Council Executive make their decision on the future management of our homes.

IMPORTANT AND URGENT:

This coming Saturday 1st October, there is an Islington Residents Convention at the Assembly Hall (Islington Town Halls, Upper Street, N1) from 10am – 2pm (light lunch provided). Attendees will be given an opportunity to express their views (we are told) on the future management of our homes. Registration for the event is required: If you can attend, please sent an email confirming your attendance to:

simon.elkington@islington.gov.uk

 

Join the Disband HFI Campaign crew for pre-residents convention coffee at the Workers Café (across from the Town Hall, Upper Street) from 9.15am

 

“Because Islington’s residents together deserve better – Disband HFI – Islington says bring council housing back under Council control.”

 

Yours faithfully,


Disband HFI
