Wigan Council will consult on scrapping its ALMO and
bringing housing management back in-house. The council reviewed Wigan and Leigh
Homes and a subsequent report published by consultancy Deloitte concluded an in-house
housing service would work better than the current ALMO set-up. Wigan and Leigh
Homes was set up in 2002 and manages 22,600 homes. A report to the council
said: “At the time, the formation of the ALMO was the correct decision, and was
the only way that the council could have secured such significant investment in
its housing stock.” Read more on Inside Housing.
