Comments on: Labour hits tenants with £12 a week rent rise http://www.lambethconservatives.com/2009/01/labour-rent-hike/ Working in West Norwood, West Dulwich, Streatham, Clapham, Brixton, Herne Hill, Stockwell, Kennington, Vauxhall & Waterloo Mon, 17 Oct 2011 15:37:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.3 By: norwoodgal http://www.lambethconservatives.com/2009/01/labour-rent-hike/comment-page-1/#comment-67 norwoodgal Mon, 02 Mar 2009 18:40:28 +0000 http://www.lambethconservatives.com/?p=385#comment-67 How can they do this at the time of ressession? The rate of inflation is not even that high. Are they not breaking the law by having a rent rise of 12%? When I was told today of this I asked if they were going to improve services, you can only guess at the reply I recieved to that question. This rise will force more families to seek Housing benefit tax benefit, which incur another heavy cost to the goverment. What sense is there in that?If they are to have it... They can spend the extra cash from us on improving youth facilities in the Norwood area,we have appalling facilities.Lets have some proper football facilities, less we trail behind North London still and have nothing to offer our youth...Where are the decent parks for children? Lambeth is a joke.... they should all loose their jobs... How can they do this at the time of ressession?

On one hand they say these rent increases are a good thing, as they will lead to improved services (Hah!!) On the other hand they say it is admitedly a bad thing and staff have been "exited". Which is it??!! I should also add that Labour Lambeth’s arguments don’t stack up.
