SINN Fein councillor Patrick Logue is urge the public in Derry to ‘have their say’ over the proposed Rossville housing stock transfer.
Speaking after attending a public meeting in Pilots Row on the proposed transfer of housing stock from the Housing Executive to Housing Associations in the Rossville district she said:
“We once again outlined our opposition and echoed residents concerns over these proposals.
“Residents fear the proposals to transfer hundreds of homes in the council area to Housing Associations will have an impact on tenancy agreements, rents and repairs.
“And the subsequent impact it will have on the future workings of Housing Executive locally in terms of staffing levels and service provision.
“It’s important that residents who don’t wish to transfer from the Housing Executive to Housing Association make their feelings known during the consultation, as this decision will be based on majority of residents voting for or against these proposals.
“If any resident has any issues or queries on this feel free to contact me 02871 71377551,” added Cllr Logue
