The management of council houses in four East Kent Districts will be taken over by a single ALMO, East Kent Housing, after plans were given the final go-ahead. The ALMO will take over the day-to-day running of the council supplied housing in the Dover District, as well as taking over from Canterbury City Council, Shepway Council and Thanet District Council. The councils said tenants and leaseholders across East Kent gave the idea their broad support following an extensive consultation during summer 2010, and the proposals were also approved by the Tenant Services Authority earlier this year.
