5.4 STATEMENT FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE Of TOWER HAMLETS COMMUNITY HOUSING

THCH were chosen by the Mansford Estate Steering Group in the summer of 2004.

Tower Hamlets Community Housing operates exclusively in the Lon Borough of Tower Hamlets and as at January 2005, owns nearly 1,900 homes; these include:

  • 1265 tenanted properties
  • 534 leasehold properties
  • 20 shared ownership units
  • 2 commercial properties
  • 42 properties managed by Spitalfields H.A.

We have 3 area offices, employ 56 staff, and are financially strong. We have a significant development programme which is expected to generate some 74 new properties a year. Our approach from the start has been to put residents in control of the process of developing proposals for the regeneration of our Estates and the setting up of local housing services.

We believe that only by doing it in this way will the proposals genuinely reflect your needs and priorities.

We have been working with you, through your estate steering group since May 2004 and in that time have carried out very extensive consultation. We are grateful to all who have kindly given up their time to help shape the ideas and plans which are set out in this offer document.

During the consultation you told us many things about the estate and your homes. What you liked or disliked, what the key problems are; how you would like the estate improved and made safer; and how you would like to benefit from ´s local housing service.

The proposals set out in this offer document reflect what you have told us you want to see happen

The Council have made it clear that it has very limited resources to invest in your homes and what money is available has got to be spread thinly across all the Council´s housing stock. The Council is realistic about how much it can afford and has said it has very little chance of getting any more money to tackle the massive backlog of disrepair to its homes.

That is why the estate is now being given the chance to vote for more resources and a better future.

In this offer document we have set out our proposals to invest around £22 million on the Mansford Estate over the next 4 years. We guarantee that is the minimum amount that will be available to spend on your estate.

The choice for the future for your estate is in your hands.

 

Chief Executive, THCH
