Do you have more information on which social housing provider this is? It is very unusual for social housing landlords to provide white goods and carpets.

Yes, I do. I know a family that live there.

I meant, which social housing landlord is it that provides white goods and carpets?

Labour will almost certainly get in but they will most definitely not change anything the Tories have done.

Not until there is another election coming up anyway.

I know what you meant. It is none of your business.

True, in my area 25% of new build houses have to go to the HA, and the older HA properties are have all had solar panels fitted in the last few years and are getting new kitchens and bathrooms over the next few years. Conversely, the private rented property accross the road from me looks like it hasn't had a lick of paint since the house was build 20 years ago!

Social landlords have a responsibility to maintain certain housing standards, private landlords do not. In the above scenario, politically speaking, the left wing is the housing association landlord, improving living conditions for the tenant on a non-profit basis. The right wing is the private landlord, creaming as much profit as possible, whilst making no improvements to the property for 20 years, leaving the tenants in squalor.

The vilification of social housing tenants, and subsequent erosion of tenants rights will help to ensure we are all firmly living in the 'right' camp.

I didn't expect you to answer with any information that would lead to a verification of 'facts'. Because it is more than likely, completely untrue.

OK nannytone, you tell us exactly where you live and I'll do the same. This development is within minutes of my house, and unlike you, I don't choose to publicise everything about myself on the internet.

you only need give the name of the housing association. not details of where you live

Sorry, it is a relatively small HA and very easy to identify where I am referring to on their website, hence why I am not willing to give the information.
