Tower Hamlets Socialist Party
Residents and tenants of Tower Hamlets Community Homes (THCH) were out protesting on the 12 July. Many had stories to tell about how their estates have become more run down since they were taken over by THCH from the council many years ago, resulting in many poor repairs.
Now it looks like their debt-stricken landlord wants to be taken over by Poplar HARCA, another supposedly not-for-profit Housing Association. Poplar HARCA recently renovated Balfron Towers, a listed council block in Poplar, and sold them off as luxury private flats!
Tenants and residents of THCH homes are demanding a vote and say in who their landlord should be as they are not being given one now. Calls for the homes to return to council ownership got a lot of support.
