Letters to the Editor   A £283m problem August 23, 2007   Dear Editor, In the face of criticism of the mess inherited, Labour's opposition lead on housing, Councillor Roger Robinson makes an energetic case for his party (letters Aug 9). But the fact remains that he left Camden's housing with a £283million problem. Setting aside depreciation issues, if his party had set aside for these inevitable repairs only £5 per week per home over 30 years, there would not be a problem. The Executive Member for Housing, Cllr Chris Naylor, contemplates dumping his tenants into the arms of housing associations. This would be the beginning of the end for his party, a fact which may not have escaped the attention of some of his advisors. Registered Social Landlords are not the answer to Councillor Naylor's problems. Labour created the problem, and only Labour, in Whitehall, can solve it. This will be achieved if all those with a common goal work together, and if this means that Mr Naylor has to climb into bed with Councillor Robinson and all of Defend Council Housing, then this must happen. He owes it to his tenants; they will not forgive him if he fails to show the necessary leadership.   Yours sincerely, Peter Rutherford. Independent Federation of Genesis Residents.
