£140 million improvement plans for Stockton's 10,400 Council houses are on track after tenants overwhelmingly voted in favour of transferring their homes to a new-style, not-for-profit Tristar Homes. The vote was carried out on behalf of the Council and Tristar Homes by the independent Electoral Reform Service.
Almost 12,000 tenants received ballot papers, with 58.7% voting before the ballot closed on Wednesday 16th June with 89.6% of them in favour of the transfer.
Tristar Homes will now become a not-for-profit registered provider of social housing and the tenants' new landlord. Tenants and the Council will be equally represented on its new Board. Work will now commence to make transfer a reality, although various details still need to be agreed before the transfer can finally take place..
If you have any queries on stock transfer please contact Stockton Borough Council on freephone line on 0800 432 0891 or you can ring Engage Associates, your Independent Tenants' Advisor, on 01845 537145.
Tristar Homes Limited is a not for profit controlled company of Stockton Council and has been set up to take over the day to day management and maintenance of most of the council's housing stock. It started providing services in April 2002 following an overwhelming vote of support from Council tenants and leaseholders and with the approval of the council and Secretary of State.
Stockton Council still owns the housing stock and remains the landlord, Tristar Homes simply acts as its management agent for certain specified services - tenants' existing rights and responsibilities are unchanged.
