Islington Tribune - News: Sack laandlord: "‘Give tenants right to sack landlord’
MP Emily tables Bill to hold housing associations to account
EMILY Thornberry, the MP for Islington south, this week named and shamed five estates where residents are getting the “worst service” from their housing associations.
It comes as the House of Commons publishes her ground-breaking Bill that proposes to give Britain’s residents the right to fire their housing association if they refuse to improve their service.
To research her Private Members’ Bill Ms Thornberry carried out a survey of more than 400 housing association residents in Islington, asking them what they felt about the service from their landlord. Residents are willing to give their association a fair chance, she added.
For example, on the Market Estate and Priory Green, more than 80 per cent of residents agree there are big problems.
However, only a small group of people on the Market feel their association is doing nothing about these problems, in comparison to well over half the residents of Priory Green."
