Eastend Homes Leaseholders win first step in battle for recognition.Submitted by mozy on Fri, 01/29/2010 - 22:05EEHLFA - Deputation to the Council - 27th January and to Eastendhomes Main Board - 28th January
At the Tower hamlets Full Council meeting on the 27th January, all Councillors voted to support a call to urge Eastend Homes (the Registered Social Landlord or RSL) to recognise the Eastend Homes Leaseholders and Freeholders Association. Cllr Tim Archer put forward the original motion calling on the Council to support the group, and the Council heard a deputation led by Gloria Thienel Chair EEHLA & Interim Vice Chair EEHLFA explaining the treatment she had received at the hands of Eastend Homes, her social landlord. On Thursday 28th January the Group presented their case to the main board of Eastend Homes - they await the outcome on their call for recognition. Click here to see report of EEHFLA meeting on 19th November From the Council Website 11.4 Motion proposed by Council or Tim Archer regarding East End Homes Leaseholders and Freeholders Association DECISION This Council notes:
This Council believes that:
This Council therefore resolves to: Encourage the Board of East End Homes to recognise the EEHLFA through an agreed Memorandum of Understanding with that organisation and work positively to resolve leaseholder/freeholder issues.

SDC Meeting Tuesday 15th DecemberSubmitted by admin_one on Tue, 12/15/2009 - 21:52![]() . Big thanks to all who turned up again and again at meetings and those who have contributed time and effort over the last eight months. ![]() "Re-hash of previous plans " - an Ennerdale resident objects:Submitted by admin_two on Tue, 12/15/2009 - 13:29I am writing to object to the planning application that has been re-submitted by EastendHomes for the Eric, Treby et al estates. Firstly I am appalled that these plans have been accepted at all as they are in all affect just a re-hash of the previous plans that were refused and turned down at the last planning meeting. There have been no significant changes made in these “new” plans that address the objections made from the last plans. There has also been no attempt to consult with any of the tenants on the estates concerned or liaise with any concern residents association to discuss the issues previous raised and that continue to be a part of these “new” plans, apart from a half baked attempt at surveying the tenants with some obscure and loaded questions. The concept around consultation is to hold meetings and talk to tenants before the submission of plans and not afterwards or during as this becomes information giving not consultation so to assume that this pretence at consultation is at all relevant or meaningful is a sham. Tayside House of Broken PromisesSubmitted by admin_one on Thu, 12/10/2009 - 17:17Before Stock Transfer, EastendHomes made a promise to residents that they could provide the money to pay for essential repair & refurbishment work to our homes They told us cross-subsidy, which is money from any new homes built on estates, would only be needed to pay for general 'environmental' improvements such as lighting and landscaping Since Stock Transfer, EeH has put in planning applications for hundreds of new private flats on estates -
Why is this happening? On Eric & Treby Estates, the environmental improvements will cost approx 2million. But EeH now say they need to raise 7million. Did EeH get its sums wrong? Where is the money they promised to invest in our estates? Why is Tower Hamlets Council allowing EastendHomes to break the promises made to residents in the offer documents and on the web site? What we were consulted on....Submitted by admin_one on Mon, 12/07/2009 - 17:26News from the Leaseholders Meeting 19th NovemberSubmitted by mozy on Fri, 11/20/2009 - 01:03EeHlfa is now established as a borough-wide group, linking up leaseholders and freeholders across EeH estates after a meeting on the Isle of Dogs on 19th November Attending were:-
....and many Leaseholders from all Eastendhomes Estates from around the borough. Standing room only. Two late arrivals (a couple of years too late) Mr Paul Bloss - an executive film producer who dabbles in Social Housing Management and a Mr Peter Gibbs were not invited and not allowed in. Linda Standing an EEH Anti-social Behaviour Officer spoke about the progress being made with ASB around the Manchester Road area. Proving that in this area at least EEH is making progress in improving the environment for residents. Martin Young (Chair of the main Board EEH) bravely attempted to respond to some serious questions from residents. Though seemed to get in a bit of a pickle over the number of leaseholders on the main board. The setting up of the new assocition is moving with along with great support. Open Letter to Marc Francis - Eastendhomes - Some QuestionsSubmitted by Anonymous on Tue, 09/22/2009 - 08:17As tenants and leaseholders of Tower Hamlets Council estates which were transferred to the ownership of EastendHomes, we have some questions. This is the first in a series of open letters to Mark Francis, the Lead Councillor for Housing and Planning at Tower Hamlets Council. Dear Councillor Francis, Our first questions relate to: Providing Decent Homes - the consultation with residents on transfer of our estates to EeH
Is EastendHomes keeping these promises to us in the subsequent development proposals for our estates? Our second questions relate to: Providing Affordable Homes – Tower Hamlets planning policy and housing strategy
Just to make sure all residents are clear who represents them on EeH' Main Board, here are the detailsSubmitted by machine molle on Mon, 08/24/2009 - 03:04Bernie Cameron - Bernie is Vice-Chair of the Main Board and represents the Mile End East Estates, where he chairs the local MECHT Board. At 78, Bernie is a longstanding tenant of British St Estate and has been a staunch supporter of EeH since joining the Board in 2004. He is ably supported by Colin Antoine, another British St resident, who is a mere spring chicken at 46 and has served on the Board since 2007. Residents of the other Mile End East Estates, Bede and Eric & Treby are not currently represented on the main board of EeH. Laura Driscoll is an EeH tenant from the Isle of Dogs who represents Christchurch and Island Gardens Estates. She has also served on the Board since 2007 and is a sprightly 60 year-old. |
