Council Rubber Stamps New ALMO

Shropshire Council has endorsed a decision to form a new ALMO to manage its homes.  Proposals to form the new organisation went before a full council meeting, following a consultation with tenants.  The council approved the decision to set up an ALMO to manage the council’s 4,200 homes from next April.  The organisation will be run by a management board made up of tenants, councillors, independent volunteers and housing staff.  Final HCA approval will be sought in early January 2013.  Read more on Inside Housing.
