Tenants say "YES" to transfer

Tenants have voted in favour of the Council's proposal to transfer the borough's housing stock to a new local landlord called Bracknell Forest Homes.

The four week postal ballot closed on 10 April and of the 70% of tenants who voted, over 75% voted in favour of the transfer to the new landlord.

The transfer process will take around nine months and is expected to take place in mid-February 2008. For more information, please see the housing vote news release.

Further information

A short video about Your Homes featuring TV journalist Nick Ross was produced to help explain why the Council thinks a housing transfer offers the best future for tenants.  A DVD version of this presentation was sent to all tenants, please click here to view it.

Bracknell Forest Homes will spend £61 million on improvements to homes and services in the first five years after transfer. The Council could only have spent £18 million in the same period... find out more in Improvements to Homes.

You can also find out about the Show Home that was set up so tenants could see the Bracknell Forest Standard improvements for themselves.
