Tower Hamlets Council's transfer of Council housing stock was done under dubious
promises. One promise Tower Hamlets Council made was that tenants, residents would enjoy the same rights when their homes were taken over by the "social landlords" as they had enjoyed under Council control.
This evening, Tuesday 07 May 2013, residents at the Trahorn Close, near Vallance Road, are rallying to question Tower Hamlets Council's pledge.
They have already petitioned the Borough’s “executive Mayor” Lutfur Rahman demanding action over the “social landlord” outfit’s behaviour.


Residents have been demanding acton by Tower Hamlets Council on the behaviour of a 'social landlord' called Tower Hamlets Community Housing [THCH].

The rally is at 6 PM tonight Tuesday 07 may 2013 at Trahorn Close off Lomas Street/Castlemain Street Off Vallance Road London E1

In a communication sent today to THCH, several questions have been raised. Those include the following question to THCH

"please confirm if it is THCH’s policy to ignore the fact that there is a Constitutional representation currently before the Executive Mayor of the LBTH Council and also addressed to the full Council in the form of a petition signed by the tenants, residents and families in the Trahorn Close who are demanding that THCH are held to account for their ignoring the residents, tenants and families in the past as well as at present and over the green space in the Trahorn Close and that the Council is seen to deliver on the undertaking that was given by the Council to all affected by the stock transfer to THCH at the time of the LBTH Council’s pledge-making and  of THCH’s fully agreeing with the pledges.”
