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,

It reports that  The petition says: ‘Councils across the country are winding up organisations like HFI, recognising that they do not represent best value for public money, and bringing management of council housing back under direct council control.

‘We need genuine accountability instead of token box-ticking exercises to retain HFI, an organisation which does not have residents’ interests at heart.’
