Liberal Democrat Prospective MP for Brentford & Isleworth Andrew Dakers is calling for a Scrutiny Panel Investigation into Hounslow Homes, Hounslow Borough Council's arms length housing organisation
In light of the skyrocketing maintenance costs being faced by Ivybridge Estate residents, Liberal Democrat Prospective MP for Brentford & Isleworth Andrew Dakers is calling for a Scrutiny Panel Investigation into Hounslow Homes, Hounslow Borough Council's arms length housing organisation. Andrew has suggested the investigation should be scoped to the arms-length housing organisation's sales practices and management of maintenance costs.
Andrew Dakers said:
"The community must have full confidence in the service Hounslow Homes provides. The concerns raised are not isolated to Ivybridge, but have also arisen on the Oriel Estate, for example. Peoples' confidence will only be regained with a full and thorough investigation. Only then can we can then judge the competence of the organisation's management.
"Whilst all appropriate bills must be paid, easy payment terms should be the starting point, and leaseholders must be able to trust the management's maintenance decisions. To clear the air and restore confidence we must also be assured that potential owners are being given the full picture of the likely maintenance costs when they sign up to the 'Right-to-Buy' scheme. This is the fair treatment they deserve."
