  • Qualifying Long Term Agreements Brighton and Hove City Council
    We am very worried by the possibility of the Council entering into another long-term agreement for Planned and Major Works. Our experience as a leaseholder has been that such works carried out under long terms contracts are of very poor quality, not properly finished, and extremely overpriced i.e. £17000 for a front door and entry system for a block of 8 flats ! It was clear there had been no supervision by Brighton Council or the agreements written so badly that it is a license to print money for the winners of the contracts To give a contractor such long-term power to assess work, i.e. whether to repair or replace and with no competition regarding price does not make any sense. I am also concerned to learn that across Brighton poor quality installations have been used in replacements where regular maintenance and repair would have made better sense. It has been clearly shown that a contractor will make decisions regarding work which will most benefit their firm and this situation invites self interest and corruption. Please learn by what has happened in the past and not allow a contractor to dictate their own terms and prices. We as leaseholders cannot afford to finance this ridiculous and abusive arrangement to which we have been subjected to for so long. There is no cost-benefit analysis for the introduction of new QLTAs, which is a failure of management and governance. Until such time as this vital piece of work is done there is no justification for saying that the time-honoured method of tendering to 3 companies is more expensive than giving a monopoly to one.

  • More Disabled-Friendly Accomodation Needs To Be Built
    People from all walks of life, at any age can become disabled, you could find yourself wheelchair-bound through an accident at any time, whatever your age, class, ethnicity or religion. The poorest in our communities hit the hardest, having to try to find new suitable accomodation, adaptations etc, but nobody is immune to a tragic circumstance and we just don't have enough homes to cater for the disabled, it is a disgrace. We need to make this change a priority, I personally know through my previous work as a carer, age really doesn't matter, homes that are suitable do. Please share this campaign and sign the petition to make the government and MPs from all parties sit up, listen and make the changes we desperately need.

  • Give the UK a National Rent Database- No more tenant credit checks!
    With more people renting homes now than ever, it’s time we made some real changes to protect renters. One problem many renters face nowadays is the dreaded credit check. With so many people in the UK currently dealing with debt, it can be a barrier to securing a tenancy agreement with a landlord, even though many of the same people pay their rent in full and on time. Does it not seem inappropriate that potential tenants have to submit to being credit checked? When we think about this - a tenant pays a month in advance and a deposit to secure their tenancy - they are not asking for credit from the landlord. If we had a mandatory National Renters Database, landlords could report rent payments for those responsible for paying the rent. They would be able to report late payments, part-payments and aged debt as well as reporting those who pay on time, in full. This would not only help landlords vet new tenants, but it would help those of us in debt who find that credit checks are their only barrier to securing a tenancy. In the future, this software could even be used to help mortgage companies gain a better understanding of the risk level involved in lending. There would need to be regulations in place for those where the rent is paid directly to a landlord by a local authority to protect them if there is an error made. Tenants should also be able to dispute any information on the database and have this investigated, much like is possible with your credit rating. Please sign this petition if you agree.

  • Tackle the GENERATION RENT Crisis Now - Before it Becomes Intractable
    An entire generation is being locked out of owning a home - with profound and long lasting consequences for families, their future and us all. LOSING HOPE So much so that a whole generation are starting to lose any hope of owning a home. The data tells us that unless something changes it will only get worse rather than better. Meanwhile government schemes, and taxpayers money, have been enriching the biggest and greediest housebuilders instead of helping the people who need it. OWN THE ISSUE It's time for government to get a grip on the issue and to own it. Although the problem has some roots in global financialization there is plenty that government can and should do, and are not doing. They set the rules and frameworks within which the market operates - so no excuses, this is a fundamental issue for us all. Housing is not just an asset or commodity for the rich to trade it's something we all need. It's also the source of any real wealth and financial stability for most ordinary working people. So it's essential that we come together to tackle this now, for both the rising generation - and all those who follow them. Our children and grandchildren.

  • Call In decision to give Kingston's Right to Buy receipts to GLA
    Kingston desperately needs more council housing for the thousands of people on the waiting list and the Council could combine the RTB receipts with other funds it has available to build between 30-77 council rent properties this year and even more in 2020/21 and 2021/22. If it gives this money to the GLA, it will only receive it back as a grant with conditions that force it to build London Affordable Rent properties, which are unaffordable to many of the most in need on the housing waiting list. See here for more details: https://dchkingston.wordpress.com/why-is-rbk-giving-our-money-to-the-gla/

  • Stop sending people away from their home
    People will be more happy to leave where they want, and they have their families, friends, school, but by sending them away is taking their happiness and Joy away. I am victim of that because after living for 10years for a private flat. They are forcing me to go outside London, to put my children away from their friends and school which is gonna be very hard because I got an autistic child who has difficulty for any single change.
