Picking up the pieces after the result of Daylight Robbery

A much needed meeting about exactly what will happen with the land around the areas now owned by Tristar Homes, that used to be owned by the Council.  Transfrering houses is relatively straighforward, but when you get down to who picks up the litter on which path, who is responsible for renovations as wel a repairs for public areas, where are much needed car parking spaces on the estate going to come from, where is rent for some garages going to, and what about cutting the grass ?????? Lots of questions, some answers, and hopefully more to come.  I had asked the questions the minute I got to see the plans in December, but lots of hold ups.  What is particularly sad though is that it is all so unnecesary.  If past Governments had not taken what grew to ONE THIRD of the rent from Council Tenants for the last 20 years the necessary improvements and maintenance could have been made to the homes and environment.  People would have had much needed new doors and wondows to keep them warm and masses of time and money would not have needed to be spent on tranferring the stock.  Pick up the pieces I will, but it should not have been necesary.
