Let down on homes
Dear Editor,
Two years ago, there was a scandal
about the Church Commissioners selling
their homes to housing associations and
private companies.
Genesis Housing Group and Grainger
bought, at a special rate, a vast number
of the Church Commissioners's homes. It
was argued that HAs were "not for profit"
companies working for the social housing
market, and so, somehow or other, this was
O.K.
The inevitable has begun. According
to page 4 of your April 23 edition, the
process of selling off at auction has
started with two homes to go under the
hammer in a week.
The Church Commissioners should know
better than to sell off their housing in
this way. They have let us all down.
Yours sincerely,
Peter Rutherford.
