80% against not enough for South Derbyshire Tories

South Derbyshire Tories have decided to press on with preparations to sell council housing stock to a registered social landlord.

This despite a survey of tenants finding tenants are overwhelmingly against.

Tenants that attended the South Derbyshire District Council meeting to witness the debate, found that the Tories did not express their views.

A lot of money has been wasted on this exercise already; and it would appear to be pointless since such a proposal can be carried through without tenants' support.

To push on in the face of such opposition, the Tories must have another agenda. They should meet tenants on the doorstep and explain what their motives and intentions are.
