Transfer of Neath Port Talbot council housing to be put to the vote

At mid-day today, council decided unanimously to accept the necessity to bring the county borough's council houses up to the Welsh Housing Quality Standard. Further, it adopted the recommendation of a stakeholder group (comprising representative council members, trade unionists, council employees and tenants) that the option of transferring the housing stock to a community mutual organisation be put to a vote of the tenants.

That's the bare story. There are all sorts of issues which have arisen as a result of the decision-making process so far, and predicted to occur in the near future. I hope to return to this subject in more detail before too long.
