Anybody in here living in council accomodation. Im wondering what your views are on the proposed transfer to the private sector. Im all for it. With the way HBC has started to treat its tennants you really have no choice but to vote "Yes".
A typical example is i live in a ground floor flat, we have no fencing around the back gardens. The garden is used as a short cut up to the next street. Trouble is when its being used for this reason, we get idiots who think its funny to start banging on your bedroom windows at 3am. Another example is last weekend we had yobs around the back with torches looking into the properties. What was their intensions ...robbery ? The police didnt catch them,but when you live on your own this can be a frightening experience.
Most council houses have a good economical heating system, mine is still on the so-called economy 7 which in truth i cannot afford to use unless i want a bill of over £600 for the winter months.
My list is endless,
I would like to hear your views on the subject.
