HAFFTRA Meeting

Guest speaker Anthony Wood and Chair Paul McInulty

Last night LETRA attended a meeting of the tenant and TRA support body HAFFTRA (Hammersmith and Fulham Federation of Tenants and Residents Associations). Despite having it's official link with H&F severed by the council, they are continuing their work for residents in the borough, by assisting TRA's with a number of services and holding regular meetings.
The evening's guest speaker was Anthony Wood, a Resident Involvement Panel member, who gave a well received talk on why H&F should set up a new Communications Panel, run by residents with council officer support, to improve the way information is conveyed by the authority.
Other issues discussed, were the recent unconsidered changing of the locks at community halls, so residents can't access their buildings, the ongoing issue of parking charges on estates and the surprising appointment of "Big Four" accountancy firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers (at what cost?), to audit and help with the finances of TRA's. 
The next HAFFTRA meeting for TRA members will be their AGM, on April 3rd with Andy Slaughter MP, as guest the speaker.
