ALMO Survives Review

Borough of Poole’s Conservative cabinet has voted unanimously to keep Poole Housing Partnership (PHP), which manages its 5,000 council homes. It approved a recommendation from the People Overview and Scrutiny Committee that the authority “resets its relationship” with the ALMO, rather than dissolves it. A petition to protect PHP was signed by 350 residents last year after it emerged that Borough of Poole had commissioned housing consultancy Campbell Tickell to carry out a review of its housing services. PHP will be asked to work more closely with the council’s “strategic priorities”, including through making cost savings. It will also undergo a governance review. Read more on Inside Housing.
