Tenants on Lambeth Council's Clapham Park Estate started voting on the proposed transfer of their 1,920 homes to a resident-led subsidiary of Metropolitan Housing Trust. The Estate has been allocated £56 million under the New Deal for Communities (NDC) programme. If the transfer takes place, Clapham Park Homes will take over responsibility for regeneration from the existing NDC.
The NDC has plans to replace existing homes with a development programme that will produce 225 extra homes for social renting and special needs units.
