The Tenant Services Authority has upbraided Greenwich Council for the way it has sought to repossess homes on an estate the London borough wants to knock down. The council will lose £21.5 million funding if the homes on the Ferrier estate are not empty and redevelopment work can begin before April. A TSA investigation found that the council was taking court action against residents at the same time as it looked to carry out its pledge to make them reasonable alternative housing offers. It said that the council could have reduced the stress placed on tenants if it had acted to make offers earlier. Phase two of the £1 billion regeneration of the Ferrier estate needs to start in the current financial year to secure £21.5 million allocated by the Homes and Communities Agency.
