6.16 What would be the role of the Council following transfer?

If the transfer goes ahead, the Council would enter into a legal agreement with THCH. THCH would be bound to keep the promises set out in this document and the Council could take legal action against them if they do not.

Following transfer, the Council would continue to work in partnership with THCH. The Council would continue to have a strategic housing role even if the estate did transfer to THCH, which would include, for example, maintaining its duties to the homeless under the homelessness legislation and maintaining the Common Housing Register.

The Council would continue to be responsible for non-housing services for Mansford Estate such as Highways, Leisure, Refuse Collection and Planning. The residents of Mansford Estate would still be able to contact the Council in the usual way. Residents would still be required to pay their Council Tax in the same way as they do now. (The Council would also be responsible for administering Housing Benefit).
