Tenants vote on housing issue

 

Council tenants in Denbighshire have welcomed plans by the local authority to allow them to vote on the future of their homes.

Councillors have rejected proposals to borrow £24m to pay for modernisation demanded under standards set by the Welsh Assembly Government.

The local authority need to spend £53m on upgrading their homes but would only need a loan for £24m.

Tenants of the area's near-4,000 council homes feared their rent would double over the next eight years under this scheme.

Instead, councillors backed transferring the ownership and management of the properties to a not-for-profit organisation.

Council house residents will be able to take part in a ballot towards the end of the year asking for their views.

"This is the only option open to tenants where they have a proper vote," said John Patterson, a Rhyl council house tenant for 15 years.
