Residents’ group in liquidation

09/10/2009

A group representing Rochdale tenants’ and residents’ associations is to be placed in voluntary liquidation.

The board of Rochdale Federation of Tenants’ and Residents’ Associations decided last week to wind up the organisation following a series of financial and personnel problems.

A report commissioned by arm’s-length management organisation Rochdale Boroughwide Housing has suggested it should develop an alternative body representing tenants known as the RBH Tenant Panel. RBH suspended its recognition of RoFTRA after a row over payments to former chief officer David Bartlett (Inside Housing, 21 August). No one from RoFTRA was available to comment.
