Merton Housing Stock Transfer ballot

The minority Tory administration in Merton are planning to undertake another ballot on stock transfer in Merton. The last ballot that took place back in 2002 resulted in a narrow defeat for transferring stock to a RSL(registered social landlord)

This will be developing issue within the Council over the next few months and I post the agenda of the Council Regeneration and Public Realm Panel. In any decision it is vital that they views of the tenants are listened too and taken into account, any decision taken on stock transfer has to be in the best interests of the tenants.
