We are looking to find out what your opinions are on the proposed transfer and how you are likely to vote. You can fill in this online form or use the prepaid return envelope in your letter.
We have written to all tenants with an update on the proposed transfer to Cairn. Letters should arrive with you all later in the week but you can read it here in the meantime.
We'd also love to know what you think about the proposed transfer. Please fill in this short online survey to tell us what you think. You have until the 21st June to fill it in.  We are in the process of transitioning over to a new housing management system.
This shouldn't affect you but it will mean that your rent balance won't be updated in the My Ancho portal this week. Everything should be back to normal next week. If you have any queries about your rent balance in the meantime, please contact us by emailing [email protected] or by calling 0800 990 3405.
