Not cast aspersions on any particular housing association, they were once publicly owned, and financed by the raising of public taxes, and now they aren't.
In reality they were given away.
Can't even be said to be similar to selling off the family silver.
More like opening the door, and watch while folk walk off with it.
Thanks for the information Red. x
Anyone know if the number of homes in Hyndburn has gone up or down since the transfer, and if they've similarly invested in the creation of new homes, to add to their property stock?
