Halton , Cheshire.
A new tennant scrutiny panel member after participating in the steering group as part of Halton's pilot local offer for allocations.
I am a full time carer for my 2 disabled children after a 22 year career in engineering.
According to the coalition I have now been promoted to the dizzying heights of a benefits sponge!!

Comment on: TSA's local offers 'are a success'

I take it that Anonymous is not a tennant and hopefully drives a Toyota!! That's what driving down costs without consulting the customer experience gets you. Standards are fair to the customer and provider. They should provide a clear picture to the provider of what is required and how to manage effectively to at least achieve, hopefully exceed the standard. -
Comment on: Shapps confirms plans to scrap TSA
Mr. Shapps is obviously using his current role as Housing Minister to toe the line and springboard his political career by this decision.
His inappropriate language in leaking his decision, and subsequent innapropriate language in the Inside Housing interview would have created uproar in the private sector. Imagine telling the steelworkers of Sheffield that they would be 'deleted' as they are no longer condidered cost effective.
By his own admission the work the TSA has accomplished is valuable, but he has missed the mark. The initial costs of any venture are high, and in the TSA's local offer pilot it cannot be denied that costs to HA's exceeded the grants. However, simply scrapping the TSA with no clear vision of where it's remit will eventually land, or the costs involved in such a transfer of governance, shows the coalitions weakness of forethought and Mr. Shapps' eagerness to impress his overlord(s).
