Council Tenants Vote for Autonomy

The tenants of a south London council housing estate have voted in favour of creating a tenant managed organisation (TMO) for their area. On a 47.5% turnout, 85.7% of the D'Eynesford Estate's residents voted in favour of the TMO, which will go live in October 2014. The move will allow the tenants to manage their own repairs, budgets and services, with the support of Southwark Council. The TMO will be chaired by an elected resident who will act as spokesperson and support others in reporting repairs and other issues. A tenant board will deal with the governance and administration of the TMO. Read more on 24dash.
