Enfield Council is set to establish a housing association
to spend funds it receives from council tenants exercising their Right to Buy.
The Council is expected to vote in favour of lending £250,000 to Red Lion Homes
to cover start-up costs and transferring sites to the new association, which
aims to provide 500 homes in six years. The council first approved the idea of
setting up a housing association in November 2015, as a way of spending the
£154m of Right to Buy receipts it has to spend between 2018/19 and 2022/23.
