Tenants Asked For Views on Stock Transfer

Salford City Council is asking tenants to vote on whether they wish management of their homes to remain with Salix Homes, a 10,500 homes ALMO set up to manage the council’s stock.  They are not being presented with the option of the management of their homes transferring back to the council but are instead being asked if they want the current arrangement to continue, or for a transfer to a registered provider or housing association. The council said the results of the survey would ‘inform the city mayor’s decision’ on whether or not to conduct a formal ballot of tenants on a transfer to a housing association. This move could only go ahead with the agreement of tenants.  Read more on the Salix Homes website.
