A tenants' direct action campaign group!
The tenants in Liverpool and Merseyside are sick of the injustices. The councillors whether they're Labour or Liberal-Democrat simply don't care about throwing us out into the private sector they're not tenants themselves! Councillors are giving away our land, our homes, our streets, our neighbourhoods and our communities for 'FREE' to undemocratic and unaccountable private landlords it is 'our' public property not for them to give away through rigged ballots or no ballots at all.

Councils are delaying housing benefit payments, halting payment for three months in Liverpool in 2003, in some cases the council hasn't paid housing benefit for 12 months leading to some families being made homeless - You don't hear about that in the Echo!
Their decisions are daily driving us into deeper poverty and forcing us out of our homes against our will in Norris Green on the Boot Estate to clear the land for private housing, in Croxteth on the Gillmoss estate to make way for a Tescos, in Kensington to make way for 'yuppie' exclusive housing, in Bootle on the Klondyke estate and beyond to clear the land for a private regeneration company's massive plans. In some places tenants are being harrassed and also terrorised out by organised firebugs burning adjoining empty properties. In the Granby Street area housing is being cleared out and even recently built housing is said to be under threat of demolition. The massive programme of demolitions are destroying empty good quality housing, while the council's waiting lists continue to grow.
Councillors from Sefton, to Knowsley, to Liverpool and Wirral have betrayed all tenants - They don't deserve working class support or working class votes on June 10th!
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH - IT'S TIME WE FOUGHT BACK - NOW IS THAT TIME - JOIN US!
Tenant activists in Liverpool and Merseyside have set up "Justice For Tenants" a new campaign group to defend our fellow tenants against injustice by landlords such as evictions, unpaid or delayed housing benefit payments and the numerous other issues.
Whether you are a tenant of a Council, a Housing Association, a Registered Social Landlord (RSL), a Housing Company, a private landlord or other landlords we are tenants fighting for our rights alongside you! We offer support, experience, information and direct action to get "Justice For Tenants".
Founded in Liverpool on May Day 2004
We have set up a free noticeboard by tenants for tenants to discuss, share and aid one another please make free use of it, share your experience, ask for support and JOIN US... We need to learn lessons from one another so we don't repeat the same mistakes! We're a working class organisation, you know where you are with us!

Sounds like just what we tenants need here in Liverpool - ACTION!

Frankly we need a group of tenants who are prepared to protest, demonstrate and hold sit-ins and do all we can to defend tenants families and homes.
I will certainly support the group and look forward to the first protest, as soon as possible!
