The council were unable to use outside investment to refurbish council houses by law, but as an housing association they can use outside investment. As a tenant of Hyndburn Homes I voted in favour and think it was the right move and am still of that impression, given the fact that before the vote everybody was given the chance to look at a video presentation, and was visited by officers from HBC housing
