Issue summary

The petition addresses the poor management of the Loughborough Estate by a tenant management organisation that has lost its democratic mandate and fails to provide adequate services despite receiving substantial funds from the London Borough of Lambeth.

Action requested

The petitioners request that the House of Commons considers this issue, urging the Government to amend the Housing (Right to Manage) (England) Regulations 2012 to introduce essential changes safeguarding the democratic integrity of tenant management organisations and publish updated guidance including a new Modular Management Agreement.

  • The estate is under long-term control of a tenant management organisation that receives over £3 million per year from Lambeth Council but fails to deliver essential services.
