TPAS is calling on the Government to debate the future of social housing tenant organisations at its national conference in Birmingham. The request follows announcements by the CLG to stop funding the National Tenant Voice (NTV) and the TSA. TPAS Chair, Peter Coleing, said: “It is very disappointing to hear that Government funding and support will no longer be given to the NTV, especially after tenants have committed so much time and hard work to establish it. “Following on so quickly from the news that the TSA is to be abolished, we now have two organisations effectively scrapped before they were even given chance to show what they could deliver for people living in social housing.” He continued, “TPAS is committed to representing all our 1,250 tenant members and we will be putting our case strongly to the Government at a time when we should be empowering tenants more than ever by putting their views and needs at the top of the housing agenda.” Read the full story at 24dash.
