Petition Demands Council Disbands ALMO

More than 1,000 people have signed an online petition calling on a council to disband its arm’s length management organisation. Islington Council is currently carrying out a review of the management of its 35,000 homes. The council is considering whether to disband ALMO Homes for Islington and bring management in-house, change the ALMO’s role, or transfer management to another organisation. It has ruled out a stock transfer to a housing association. A decision is expected to be taken in November. Read more on Islington Council’s website.
