Mountford Estate - still trying to ensure that the residents are heard

Today, we have written another letter to Hackney Homes asking for more work to be undertaken to get a successful Tenants & Residents Association in place for the Mountford Estate.

Previous posts highlighted the plight that residents on the estate are in - there is no formal process or body where they can communicate with Hackney Homes and have issues and problems on the estate fixed. This length of time without intesnive support to get a TRA up and running is simply unacceptable and our frustration is growing.

The following is the text of a letter that we sent to Hackney Homes this morning:

Charlotte Graves
Chief Executive
Hackney Homes

14 February 2011

Dear Charlotte,

Mountford Estate – establishing a TRA

You will recall that last year we enquired about the progress that was being made towards re-establishing a viable and working TRA on the Mountford Estate following the death of the secretary of the association.

Despite this request, there seems to be no TRA that is up and running, nor any update provided to us about the work undertaken to try to establish such an association.

Can I therefore ask what work has been undertaken, what meetings with residents have taken place and how close are we from seeing a TRA up and running on the estate?

I would welcome an update from you on the above.

Yours sincerely,

We will keep you updated about what progress Hackney Homes makes on this.
