Looking to the future

As part of the transfer process you were sent a letter at the end of February telling you that the Council had decided to proceed to a ballot of tenants - this was called the stage two letter.

In the letter we said that elections would be held for the five tenants board member positions after the first Annual General Meeting. It would have meant that all five tenant board members, who have helped to form Herefordshire Housing and who understand the transfer process, would be stepping down in November/December this year.

However, many tenants representatives now believe that this may not be in the best interest of tenants. They feel it would be better to have some continuity on the Board of Management and that it would be more appropriate for tenants board members elections to be held on a rolling basis.

A solution
It's now proposed that two tenant board members would stand down at the Annual General Meeting in November/December 2003 and the remaining three tenant board members would stand down at the third Annual General Meeting in November/December 2004.

All replacements would be through an election process and all tenant board members would serve for three-year terms.

To ensure continuity of tenant representation on the Board of Herefordshire Housing: two Tenant Board Members should stand down at the second Annual General Meeting, and three tenant Board Members should stand down at the third Annual General Meeting.
