Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Haringey Council looking to annex Homes for Haringey
Hi everyone, spotted this news today:
- https://www.hamhigh.co.uk/news/homes-for-haringey-council-housing-e...
Looks like the council is looking to bring Homes For Haringey back internally - any thoughts?
My two cents is that I'm worried, in particular as Councillor Emine Ibrahim is leading this - (see Noel Park refurb scandal for Leaseholders).
Leasehold reform is on the horizon and I'm worried that before the changes, the council will use HfH powers as a landgrab more sites for redevelopment and cash cows. I may be wrong, but I really don't trust a momentum led council after the last two elections.

Thanks a lot Guy - do you happen to know whether or not HfH has been referred to the Ombudsman, and wether or not it would be worth referring them over this annexation?

As far as I understand it, the role of the Ombudsman is to deal with specific disputes, once the complainant exhausts the landlord’s internal complaints procedure (formal complaints to Homes for Haringey / Haringey Council). I am not sure if any specific decisions relating to H4H have been published on their site, and do not think they would have any say in this annexation. They do have an interest in “systemic and thematic” failings (the actual ‘root causes’ of widespread failures and the inadequately-challenged practice of continually hiking excessive charges). Here is a link to their ‘jurisdiction’ page: https://www.housing-ombudsman.org.uk/useful-tools/fact-sheets/our-j...
