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

Non-Resident Leaseholders

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.

White paper proposes to make ALMO’s independent – make your feelings clear if you receive council questionaire

Tribune letter edit

Many resident have recently received a questionnaire from the council regarding the future of Islington’s council housing , and you should also be aware of governments intention to move “arm’s-length management organisations (ALMO’s) in social housing into the housing association sector”

Despite strenuously denying the possibility of allowing Homes for Islington (ALMO) to metamorphose into a Housing Associations, Islington council, via their latest extremely ambiguous, and divisive questionnaire, leaves the way open for HFI’s continued presence in Islington

Dr. B. S. Potter, Chairman FITA / ILA  suggests draw a line across each page and write in the “comments section” Close HFI…TUPE all staff back to the council…and return Islington’s housing stock back under the direct management of Islington council, and our ELECTED councilors…This statement clearly indicates to the council that we consider council homes safer under the council then in a private company. If you agree…go to www.disbandHFI.org.uk and have your say without it being re-interpreted…!!!  More
