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:

Influential magazine “Inside Housing” reports on Petition demands council disbands ALMO http://bit.ly/mTM7sW
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.’

IMPORTANT NEWS FOR NON-RESIDENT LEASEHOLDERS
Following a joint initiative between the ILA and HfI, there is now an agreed procedure which HfI staff will follow to make sure that leaseholders who don’t live in their HfI – managed flats will receive important correspondence from HfI at their designated correspondence addresses.
This is the list we have jointly agreed and in it ’NRL’ stands for Non-Resident Leaseholders.
Would all NRLs have a look at this list and see if we’ve covered all eventualities?
It may be that you have other examples of mail which you feel you should have received but didn’t.
In which case, please get in touch with us at
islington.leaseholders@hotmail.co.uk
Similarly, we would like to have your correspondence address so that we can send our newsletters direct to you and not to your tenants.
SO PLEASE email us with the best address to reach you at.
