Following talks between some residents association & K. Taylor-Smith on 27 October 2017, the following road map was formulated. It is only a draft, and is therefore open for discussion. You gotta start from somewhere!!!
Resolution 1: Agree to form the Kensington and Chelsea Residents Forum (KCRF):
Resolution 2: Agree to establish a steering
committee to act on behalf of the KCRF
1.
The steering group of 8 people
to be composed of six Council Tenant TMO Members, and two leaseholders; or five
Council Tenant TMO Members, and three leaseholders nominated by the forum.
Objects of Forum
2.
The steering committee will
represent the aims of the Forum, will negotiate with RBKC and KCTMO and other
bodies as necessary to effect the aims of the KCRF
3.
To ensure the voting rights of
Kensington and Chelsea Tenant Management Organisation (KCTMO) members are
maintained throughout the transition from the KCTMO to the new management
models of council housing are in place and there after.
4.
To ensure all residents are
fully consulted during the transitional arrangements of the management of the
council housing stock.
5.
To negotiate the pathways for
co-designing the new management models for council housing in the Royal Borough
of Kensington and Chelsea RBKC.
6.
To ensure that all those people
who’s past actions and where employed by the KCTMO that led to the Grenfell
Tower fire are fully held to account to the enquiry and either civil or
criminal action.
7.
To seek legal advice where
necessary.
8.
To seek expert housing advice
where necessary.
9.
To represent the needs and
aspirations of the residents.
10. To be open to all tenants and lease holders of council housing in
the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
Hello, this is very interesting. How can we be consulted / get involved?
ReplyDeleteI do not know. At any rate, I think the council ought to ASSIST us in forming some kind of Exec Committee or Steering Group, in order to organise a borough wide consultation. There has been a talk between Taylor-Smith and a few resident associations. While it was minuted, I was refused permission to publish them, as they were considered "confidential". To my mind, this is not a good start. I do not see why talks about our future are confidential. Maybe writing to Taylor-Smith might be an option. Perhaps someone could start a Facebook page (?). Let's all stay tuned.
DeleteHi Bruno-D, who is in this group and how can they be contacted?
ReplyDeleteThey ought to have 6 tenants and 2 resident leaseholders to properly reflect the ratio of tenants to leaseholders.
This group has no formal footing yet. I agree with your ratio idea. Let's all stay tuned. I, personally, wouldn't know where to start.
